Do you have a child who is presenting seizures, or is there a child that you know of, who is presenting seizures?  When seizures frequently recur then it is termed as Epilepsy. It is a very common neurological problem today. We can fight it better if we learn more about it. Our goal is to empower a concerned parent such as yourself, with the information required to help your child grow into a self-confident young adult in society.

To accurately identify a seizure episode, firstly it is important to understand the core definition of a seizure. Seizures are the transient occurrences of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal, excessive or abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy on the other hand is the disorder of the brain function characterised by recurring seizures.
