Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a medical condition in which someone has seizures. Seizures happen when there is a giant storm inside the brain. It happens when too many brain cells suddenly send out electrical signals all at once, which makes the person's body do something it wouldn't usually do, like jerk around or make strange movements. People with epilepsy need to take special medicine that helps to calm their brains down and help stop any seizures.
