Epilepsy is a chronic, debilitating neurological disorder that is characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Approximately 0.5 to 1 percent of the population has epilepsy. For people with epilepsy, seizures can occur at any time and often without warning. The frequency of seizures varies from once a year to multiple seizures a day depending on the person. Epileptic seizures can have far-reaching implications on a person’s quality of life.
