Idiopathic Epilepsy

Idiopathic epilepsy is a type of epilepsy where seizures occur without a known cause. "Idiopathic" means that the exact reason for the seizures is unclear, even after medical evaluation. This condition often begins in childhood or adolescence, and affected individuals may experience recurrent seizures that can vary in frequency and intensity. While the condition can be managed with medication, it doesn’t have a definitive cure. The focus is on reducing the frequency and severity of seizures to improve the person's quality of life. Ongoing research aims to better understand the underlying mechanisms of this condition.
