Epilepsy, which is sometimes called a
seizure disorder, is a disorder of the
brain. A person is diagnosed with
epilepsy when they have had two or more
seizures. A seizure is a short change in
normal brain activity. Seizures are the
main sign of epilepsy. Some seizures can
look like staring spells.

Epilepsy contains a symptom called a Seizure.

Jens Martensson
A Seizure is caused by rapid and uncoordinated
electrical firing in the brain. This can cause
temporary abnormalities in behaviors,
movements (such as alternating stiffening and
jerking of the arms and legs), sensations or a
loss of consciousness or altered consciousness
level.

Generalized Epilepsy
2

Jens Martensson
Generalized epilepsy is a form of epilepsy characterized
by generalized seizures with no apparent cause.
Generalized seizures, as opposed to focal seizures, are a
type of seizure that impairs consciousness and distorts
the electrical activity of the whole or a larger portion of
the brain.

Focal Epilepsy
2

Jens Martensson
Focal seizures, also known as auras, occur in
one area on one side of the brain, but may
spread from there. However the patient still has
consciousness.

2

Jens Martensson
Sometimes, doctors are sure that a person has epilepsy, but
they don't know whether the seizures are focal or generalized.
This can happen if you were alone when you had seizures,
so no one can describe what happened. Your doctor may also
classify your epilepsy type as "unknown if generalized or
focal epilepsy" if your test results aren't clear.

WAYS TO MANAGE
2

Jens Martensson
Currently, there is no known cure for epilepsy. However, there are
treatments available that can help control seizures in many people with
the disease. The most common treatment is anti-epileptic medication,
which is usually effective in reducing or eliminating seizures in about
two-thirds of people with epilepsy. In some cases, surgical interventions
or other therapists may also be considered depending on the type of
epilepsy.

In summary, epilepsy is a cruel and unforgiving illness. Thousands of

people across the globe experience drastic and very devastating seizures 2

everyday. It is truly sad knowing there’s no clear-cut cure yet to
epilepsy. This symposium aims to spread awareness of this illness
occurring in the nervous system. Our group aims to knock on the hearts
of the rich and powerful to provide assistance to research in finding the
cure to epilepsy. Not only epilepsy but other uncurable diseases like
AIDS and other forms of cancer.
