Causes for Epilepsy DiagnosisUnfortunately, for some there is no known cause of diagnosis. The four most common causes of epilepsy are a brain infection, a head trauma/concussion, a brain tumor, or a stroke. These common causes can trigger a seizure instantly, days, months, or even years later.

TreatmentsCurrently, there is said to be no cure.
There are many man-made medications and natural/alternative remedies that attempt to reduce the occurrence of seizures. Interested in CBD Oil? Contact Realm of Caring for help. Besides medicinal treatment, coping emotionally is very important. Tips! A neurologist once told me, "The brain is very complex. It literally does what it wants." This makes treating epilepsy a realm of trial and error. |
Seizure TriggersAbsolutely anything can cause a seizure. These common triggers are for everyone, not just for those currently diagnosed with epilepsy.

Are all seizures due to a "trigger"?No, seizures are because of overactive nerves. A person can have overactive nerves while sitting and doing absolutely nothing .
Can one feel a seizure coming?Yes & No
Some have "auras". It is a personal sign that one is coming. This aura is different for everyone. It can be a little twitch, a weird smell, absolutely anything. Sadly, many receive no warning signs. |
