Epilepsy

Epilepsy (often referred to as a seizure disorder) is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. The condition is named from the Greek epilepsis (“to take a firm grip on”). It is commonly controlled with medication, although surgical methods are used as well.
