Have you heard this statement, "Epilepsy is contagious"?
Well, that's a myth. Epilepsy is not contagious.
Epilepsy is a problem of the brain, in which the nerves fire uncontrollably, releasing chemicals that cause the brain to stimulate the muscles without control.
Anyone can suffer this condition, no matter the age or ethnic background.
The cause of this brain disease is not always clear, but it can be traced to factors like Genes, Head injury, Infections, Seizures in childhood and Birth injuries.
