Epilepsy is a condition that can affect anybody at any age; but usually starts either in childhood or in people over 60. There are more than half a million people in the UK who have been diagnosed with this condition.
Epilepsy affects the brain and causes seizures – these are caused by bursts of electrical activity in the brain which affects the way it works. It can cause changes in sensation, behaviour or consciousness.
