Epilepsy

Seizure Disorder

A neurological disorder marked by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Epilepsy affects approximately 3.4 million Americans and requires accurate seizure classification to guide treatment. Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are the cornerstone of management. Levetiracetam, lamotrigine, and valproate are widely used broad-spectrum agents; choice depends on seizure type, age, sex, and comorbidities.
