Epilepsy is a type of brain disorder that happens when the nerve cells of the brain misfire. It is among the most common causes that are behind seizures. In a short time, it can affect your behavior. On the other hand, epilepsy is not the only cause of strokes.

The seizures can happen in people due to the following reasons:

• Seizures occur due to high fever and meningitis infection.
• You are not able to get enough sleep.
• If the person is taking diuretics, it can cause low blood sodium, i.e., hyponatremia in the body.
• Intake of alcohol
• Stroke
• You suffered from a brain injury that it may cause bleeding in your brain.
• Brain Tumor
• Medications

Types of Seizures

The two main types of seizures are as follows:

• Focal Seizures: Focal seizures start in the brain of the person. However, it causes physical and emotional effects in a person who is suffering from focal seizures. Furthermore, they start hearing the things and feel them that do not exist. 60% of people who have epilepsy face focal seizures or partial seizures. In certain situations, people confuse the symptoms of mental illness or another kind of nerve disorder with focal seizures.
• Generalized Seizures: Generalized seizures happen in the nerve cells of the brain. In such a situation, the nerve cells in the brain start doing misfires. It can cause a blackout, muscle spasms, or fall in your body. The seizures in people happen differently.
