For most kids the doctors are unsure what cause the epilepsy. No one can catch epilepsy from you. It is not an illness, like the common cold or the chickenpox that brothers and sisters catch from each other. Epilepsy is a condition that causes the brain not to work properly and can not be passed on from one kid to another. No one can magically wish for seizures to stop or begin.
Seizures come from a sudden burst of electical signal in the brain that no child can control.
Taking seizure medication every day is the only way to help control seizures. All rights reserved. Terms under which this service is provided to you. Read our Privacy Policy and Medical Disclaimer.
