AI overview
Epilepsy is a brain condition that makes people prone to having recurrent seizures—sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity that can cause anything from brief moments of lost awareness to violent muscle convulsions. It matters because seizures can cause serious physical injuries through falls, accidents, or the convulsions themselves, and the unpredictability of when they'll strike significantly affects people's daily lives and safety.
