A seizure results when cells misfire and create an excess of electricity in the brain. Epilepsy is not a disease. It is not contagious and in most cases, it is not hereditary. Epilepsy does not result in the impairment of one‘s abilities, crativity or intelligence. Epilepsy can occur at any time in a person‘s life but mos commonly occurs in childhood. In the majority of cases, epilepsy begins before age 15. One to two per cent of the population have some form of epilepsy. Van Gogh, Tchaikovsky, Handel, Charles Dickens, Socrates and Julius Caesar all had one thing in common...they all had epilepsy, Today people with epilepsy are at times, still met with discrimination in the work place and are still dealing with many negative aftitudes. For the most part, these attitudes are the result of lack of information about this condition.
