I volunteer and am involved with my church. Currently, the project I have taken intrest in is our church library. This Page Has Been Entered Times. There are many people in this world today who have epilepsy, and I am one of them. I would like to take this section to briefly tell you what epilepsy is.
Epilepsy is a physical condition caused by sudden, brief changes in how the brain works.
When brain cells are not working properly, a person's consciousness, movements or actions may be altered for a short time. These physical changes are called seizures. Epilepsy is sometimes called a seizure disorder that affects people of all nations and races. Epilepsy may happen at any time in life, however, one third of the 125,000 new cases each year begin in childhood. It has been stated that currently there are more than two million people who have epilepsy, which is nearly one percent of the population.
