What is epilepsy?
If a person has epilepsy, it means they have had more than one epileptic seizure and could have more in the future. Seizures happen when there is a sudden burst of intense electrical activity in our brains. This is often referred to as epileptic activity. This intense electrical activity causes a temporary disruption to the way the brain normally works, meaning that the brain's messages become mixed up. The result is an epileptic seizure. Epilepsy can have a number of implications on education. These include memory, the ability to focus on a task, understanding work and, at times, behavioural and social issues.
