Epilepsy People who suffer from epilepsy are normal. They can and do lead very normal lives at work and at school when given thorough knowledge about epilepsy and daily medication.
Doctors generally refer to siezures or fits as epilepsy.
There are many different types of epilepsy. Generally, when an epileptic fit occurs, the person may fall and his body may tremble or jerk uncontrollably. Sometimes he will shout or scream before falling. Afterwards he may not remember the attack and will probably want to sleep. He might bite his tongue or urinate.
