Doctor, is epilepsy treatment possible?” — the answer is yes, definitely yes.

At present, more than 23 anti-seizure medications are available in India.
The most important thing is to correctly identify the type of seizure the patient has. Once the Epilepsy is properly diagnosed, giving the right medicine in the proper dose can control seizures in nearly 75 to 80 percent of patients with just one or two medications.

However, around 20 to 25 percent of patients continue to have seizures even after receiving one or two appropriate medicines properly. This condition is known as drug-resistant Epilepsy.

For these patients, advanced treatment options are now available. In drug-resistant epilepsy, advanced investigations such as Video EEG, 3 Tesla MRI Brain and PET Scan are performed to identify the exact focus in the brain from where the seizures are originating.

Once the seizure focus is identified, Epilepsy surgery is possible in properly selected patients.

Apart from Epilepsy Surgery, other advanced treatment options are also available for resistant epilepsy, including ketogenic diet therapy and Neuromodulation therapies such as Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS).

With advanced treatment approaches, even patients with drug-resistant epilepsy can achieve much better seizure control and improved quality of life.

Epilepsy is diagnosed mainly through a detailed history and proper investigations.

The most important part in diagnosing seizures is taking a proper history from an eyewitness — someone who has actually seen the event. This is very important because in most seizures, the patient is not fully aware of what happened and often does not remember the episode clearly.

There are different types of seizures, so understanding how the seizure started, how long it lasted, and what body movements or changes occurred during the episode is extremely important. A detailed eyewitness history gives valuable clues about the type of seizure.

After taking the history, there are two important investigations that helps confirm the diagnosis:
The first is EEG, which stands for Electroencephalogram, and the second is MRI Brain.

In an EEG, similar to how we do a cardiogram for the heart, multiple electrodes are placed on different areas of the scalp to measure the electrical activity of the brain. EEG helps identify from which part of the brain the abnormal electrical activity causing seizures is coming. EEG is also useful later while adjusting or tapering seizure medications.

The second important investigation is MRI Brain. MRI helps identify structural abnormalities in the brain, such as a Brain tumor, Brain Stroke, prior brain injury causing scar formation or developmental abnormalities in the brain.

Thus, proper history, EEG, and MRI Brain together play a major role in accurately diagnosing Epilepsy and planning the right treatment.

Seizures can occur due to many different reasons.

Some causes may be related to birth history, especially if the baby did not cry immediately after birth. This leads to reduced oxygen supply to the brain, which can sometimes lead to brain injury and seizures later in life.

Other important causes include head injury, developmental abnormalities in children, genetic reasons, brain stroke, brain tumors, chemical imbalances in the body, alcohol-related triggers, and certain brain infections like TB or neurocysticercosis.

This is why identifying the cause of seizures is an important part of Epilepsy diagnosis and treatment planning.

If a person has sufferred seizures, proper neurological evaluation should not be delayed.

Epilepsy is often known by different names like seizure, fit, ખેંચ, આંચકી, વાયુ, or તાણ.

But medically, epilepsy has a specific Definition.

A seizure happens when there is abnormal and excessive electrical activity in the brain. If a person has two or more seizures with a gap of more than 24 hours, it is called Epilepsy.

Common signs during a seizure may include:

• Loss of consciousness for a few seconds
• Stiffening of hands and legs
• Eyes rolling upward
• Tongue bite in some cases

Epilepsy is more common than many people think. Around 1 in 100 people may experience this condition.

Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help many patients manage epilepsy better.

The risk of your child inheriting epilepsy is very less and it depends on several factors, including the type of epilepsy and family history.
While epilepsy can have a genetic component, very few cases are inherited.

Some forms are more likely to be passed down than others.

It’s important to understand that even if there is a genetic predisposition, it doesn’t guarantee your child will develop epilepsy.

Awareness and monitoring can help in early detection and management.

Febrile seizures are common neurological disorder of infants and young children.
Febrile seizures occur in children with fever, usually in the setting of systemic viral or bacterial infection.
They are an age-dependent phenomenon, occurring in 2 to 4 percent of children younger than five years of age. While often frightening to parents, caregivers and witnesses, febrile seizures are mostly a benign occurrence and are associated with a low risk for future Epilepsy.

Febrile seizures are described as being simple or complex.

Simple febrile seizures are the most common type and are characterized by a single generalized seizure lasting less than 10 to 15 minutes.

Complex febrile seizures include those that are focal, prolonged or recurrent within a 24-hour period.

Simple febrile seizures do not need to be treated, but its important to prevent recurrence to reduce future risk of Epilepsy. Complex febrile seizures requires evaluation and treatment.

Panic attacks and seizures require different approaches for treatment due to their distinct nature.

Panic attacks are typically managed through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques and medications like antidepressants or benzodiazepines.

On the other hand, Seizures, are treated with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and sometimes Surgical interventions.

Understanding these differences is crucial for effective management.

While panic attack treatments focus on mental health and coping strategies, Seizure treatments aim to control abnormal brain activity.

Are Panic Attacks same as Seizure?
Panic attacks and seizures, although looks similar at times, are totally distinct conditions with different causes and symptoms.

Panic attacks are episodes of intense fear or discomfort, often accompanied by symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath.

These attacks are typically triggered by anxiety or stress and are not related to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

In contrast, Epileptic seizures result from abnormal electrical discharges in the brain.

Symptoms include loss of consciousness, involuntary limb movements and at times injury.

Epileptic seizures requires Anti Epileptic medications, while Panic attack requires life style modification, counselling and at times medications to reduce anxiety.
Understanding these differences helps in accurate identification and treatment

Video EEG (Electroencephalogram) monitoring is a specialized kind of EEG used for diagnosing the cause of seizures. The patient is continuously monitored on a video while their brain activity is simultaneously recorded in an EEG unit. The purpose is to be able to see what happens when you have a seizure or an event that is suspected to be a seizure.
Video EEG is helpful to:
◾Determine if events with unusual features are actually epileptic seizures.
◾Identify the type of seizures and their frequency
◾Find the region of the brain where seizures begin.
◾Locating the exact region is vital if epilepsy surgery is being considered.
