    Definition

    Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system due to excessive electrical


    activity patterns in the brain. This causes the sufferer to experience repeated
    seizures in part or all of the body.

    Symptom

    Seizures are the main symptom of epilepsy. Seizures in people with epilepsy are
    divided into two types, namely total seizures and partial seizures. Therefore, the
    symptoms that accompany seizures may vary according to the type.

    Prevention

    People with certain health disorders can reduce their risk of developing epilepsy by
    eating a balanced nutritious diet, exercising, and not smoking. Meanwhile, in
    pregnant women, the risk of epilepsy in babies can be reduced by routinely
    checking the womb.
