A seizure is a neurological condition that causes an uncontrolled discharge of electrical activity in the brain. It can affect people of any age, but the good news is that it is treatable. You should understand what brings on your child’s seizures.

Humans experience stress through the release of chemicals in the brain and the nervous system. It helps you to survive and cope. When these chemicals are continuously released in large amounts in a child’s brain, it can put them at risk for a seizure.

A neurologist will diagnose a patient with epilepsy when having reoccurring seizures. Seizures can be caused by anything that injures the brain. Illness and fever are triggers that can cause your child to have an episode.
