Epilepsy

Diagnosis
Several tests are used in the evaluation of epilepsy because patients conditions may be confused with epilepsy, such as syncope (fainting), stroke and and other disorders.

Treatment
The most common treatment for patients with epilepsy are medications. When medications fail to control or substantially reduce the frequency of seizures, brain surgery may be recommended. The same treatment does not work for everyone because the kind of epilepsy and the seriousness of the disease varies.
