Juvenile Epilepsy

Juvenile epilepsy refers to epilepsy that begins in childhood or adolescence. It is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can vary in type and severity, affecting how a child thinks, feels, or behaves. The causes can be genetic, developmental, or related to brain injury. While many children outgrow their seizures or successfully manage them with medication, others may continue to experience epilepsy into adulthood. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for minimizing impact on development and daily life.
