The belief widely held in many countries is that a person with
epilepsy is seized by a supernatural force or power. This ancient
belief is reflected in the name of the disorder -- the word
"epilepsy" being derived from the Greek word "epilambanein" which
means "to seize or attack." We now know, however, that seizures are
the result of sudden, usually brief, excessive electrical
discharges in a group of brain cells (neurones) and that different
part of the brain can be the site of such discharges. The clinical
manifestations of seizures will therefore vary and depend on where
in the brain the disturbance first starts and how far it spreads.
Transient symptoms can occur, such as loss of awareness or
consciousness and disturbances of movement, sensation (including
vision, hearing and taste), mood or mental function.
