Epilepsy is a nervous system disorder and there are three different types of it. In this video, family physician Sharecare Advisory Board member Daniel Spogen, MD, describes each type of epilepsy and what happens in seizures of each kind.
Epilepsy is a chronic condition, causing abnormal electrical transmissions in the brain. Seizures may be general, affecting large areas of the brain, in which the individual loses consciousness and has violent jerking of all muscles.
