Epilepsy is the most common childhood brain disorder in the United States - nearly 3 million Americans have this condition (450,000 of which are under age 17).
About two-thirds of all children with epilepsy outgrow their seizures by the time they are teenagers. However, it is important for parents to help their child maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure regular medical visits.
Epilepsy is a brain disorder where a person has recurring seizures. The seizures are triggered by changes in the electrical and chemical activity in the brain. Seizures can be caused by anything that injures the brain, including head injuries, infections, poisoning or even brain development problems prior to birth. Often a cause for the seizures and epilepsy cannot be found.
There are many different types of seizures. Some are very short, lasting only a few seconds, while others can last a few minutes. The type of seizure a person has depends on where the seizure occurs in the brain and how much of the brain is involved.
A doctor will typically diagnose a child with epilepsy (also called a seizure disorder) if:
The child has one or more seizures
The doctor thinks the child is likely to have a seizure again
The seizure was not directly caused by another medical condition, like diabetes or a severe infection
