Epilepsy, Nervous System, Seizures, Neurological Disorders, Treatment, Diagnosis, Pediatrics, Brain HealthAbstract
Epilepsy and nervous system disorders are significant medical conditions that affect a large portion of the population, particularly children and adolescents. These disorders can lead to various challenges in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management. Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures, while nervous system disorders encompass a broad range of diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. This article explores the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of epilepsy and other common nervous system disorders, focusing on their impact on quality of life and the latest advancements in treatment.
