Epilepsy Advanced FAQs

What is epilepsy?

Epilepsy is not just one condition, but a group of many different 'epilepsies' with a tendency to have seizures that start in the brain. Epilepsy is normally only diagnosed after a person has had more than one seizure. Not all seizures are due to epilepsy. Other conditions that can look like epilepsy include fainting, or very low blood sugar in some people being treated for diabetes.

What causes epilepsy?

Epilepsy can be caused by a number of things and can be complex, and hard to identify. Seizures may be caused by one or more of the following:

  • a structural (sometimes called 'symptomatic') change in the brain, such as the brain not developing properly, or damage caused by a brain injury, infections like meningitis, a stroke or a tumour
  • structural changes due to genetic conditions such as tuberous sclerosis, or neurofibromatosis, which can cause growths affecting the brain
  • a genetic trait, passed down from one or both parents (inherited)
  • a change to the individuals genes that haven't been inherited

Who can develop epilepsy?

Anyone can develop epilepsy, at any time. It affects all ages, races and social classes. It is most commonly diagnosed in children and those over 65 years of age. Around half a million people in the United Kingdom live with epilepsy which equates to approximately 1 in every 100 people. Stroke is the most common cause of seizures in the ageing population and approximately 10% of stroke survivors experience a seizure after a stroke.
