Epilepsy which is also known as `Mirgi' in India is a very common condition in older children and young adults. In this disease the patient will suffer sudden seizures which could range from moderate to severe. The patient suddenly goes into seizure and can fall on the ground with stiffening of the body. This kind of fall often results in bony injuries like fractures. If the person is on the road or driving a vehicle then such a sudden seizure can result in a major accident. Seizures can be caused due to several factors and it is important to diagnose the cause behind such a seizure. Many people consider this condition a shame and avoid going to a proper doctor for its treatment. Even the patient is made to feel ashamed due to this condition. Epilepsy is not a lifelong condition and improves or gets completely cured with some years of medication. The treatment for Epilepsy may last from 4 - 15 years and generally gets cured during this time if proper treatment is taken.
