EPILEPSY
By: Anthony Childers



Diagnosis:
Diagnosing epilepsy is very difficult.
There are many disorders that cause
changes in behavior and can be
confused with epilepsy. Since
epilepsy can cause seizures the
diagnosis of it is the first critical step.
To diagnose epilepsy, many doctors
ask the patient about their medical
history, while also taking a physical
exam. Along with this, a mental exam
and an electroencephalogram is
taken to record the brain activity.

Medication:
Commonly unknown, more than 70%
of epilepsy patients cant take
medications to help their seizures.
But when patients do take
medications, they include: tegretol
and carbatrol, along with zarontin
and felbatol.
Electricity is life but
electricity is an invisible fist
punching up your spine,
knocking your brains right out
of your skull.
