Epilepsy is a disorder that is characterized by the tendency to have recurring seizures. Normally, brain cells communicate with each other via electrical impulses working together to control body movements and keep organs functioning properly. When someone has epilepsy, this normal pattern may be interrupted by thousands to millions of electrical impulses that occur at the same time and are more intense than usual, producing abnormal brain electrical activity and resulting in a seizure.
When something goes wrong in the electric fuse box that is the human brain, an epileptic fit is likely to begin.
