Conditions We Treat

Most seizures can be controlled with medicine or other epilepsy therapies. Seizures that cannot be controlled with medication are called drug-resistant seizures.

Seizures are caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain, although the cause is not always known.

This type of seizure may look like an epileptic seizure but is caused by underlying distress instead of abnormal brain activity.

A seizure is sudden uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain that can cause a variety of physical manifestations, including shaking or stiffening of the arms and legs, changes in awareness, loss of consciousness, or abnormal behaviors. They usually last up to minutes at a time. Seizures that last longer are considered a medical emergency. Seizures are divided into those that are generalized and focal. Generalized seizures involve all areas of the brain when they start, while focal seizures involve only one part of the brain and may later spread to others.

Seizure-like activity is seizures that are not caused by epilepsy or any unusual electric activity in your brain.
