Epileptic encephalopathy

Epileptic encephalopathy is a severe brain condition where frequent seizures disrupt normal brain function and development. It often occurs in young children and can lead to cognitive decline, behavior issues, and developmental delays. The seizures, which can be difficult to control, impair the brain's ability to process information and develop skills. While treatment is focused on managing seizures through medication and other therapies, the condition can significantly impact quality of life. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes and helping affected individuals thrive.
