🧠Understanding Seizures
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, movements, feelings, and levels of consciousness. Seizures occur when there's abnormal electrical activity in brain cells (neurons).
When someone has recurrent seizures, they may be diagnosed with epilepsy, a neurological disorder affecting millions worldwide. At Singheswar Hospital, we provide comprehensive care for all types of seizure disorders.
