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.

Epilepsy is caused by a disturbance in the brain.
This may be due to development of the brain in the uterus before birth, due to some illness or some head injury. A difficult birth could also result in brain damage and subsequent epilepsy. Many cases of epilepsy are cured or controlled when proper medication is taken. But some people who have suffered serious brain damage may never be fully functional. Evil spirits or witchcraft does not cause epilepsy.
