Articles about Epilepsy Disability Benefits
Epilepsy is a medical condition that causes seizures. Seizures are disruptions of the electrical activity in the brain that can result in changes in sensory, motor, or autonomic function, or even loss of consciousness. Epilepsy is typically categorized by type of seizure (partial onset, generalized onset) and seizure cause (idiopathic/cryptogenic, symptomatic).
