What is the simple, sweet, and to the point diagnosis for epilepsy
The doctors (neurologists) diagnosis would be confirmed by a battery of tests that he/she will conduct to come to the conclusion that you have a seizure disorder or some other neurological disorder.
Once you have been diagnosed, he/she will put you on a regimen of medication watching you closely deciding whether to up or lower the dosage since you are a new patient.
There is not a sweet to the point, but that is the best that I can do for you.
Good luck!

That would depend on if a person was born with it or developed it later in life. I was born with it & have had every kind of seizure,
from grand mal which is where a person blacks out, loses control of every muscle on ur body all the way down to petit mal seizures, in which u r aware of everything you're doing
but cannot control anything. There r 3 ways to treat Epilepsy,
1. You can refuse any & all meds & just deal with it. ( I tried
that only to end up breaking my arm after walking out into the street without even knowing it.)
2. You can accept it & take whatever medicine to at least try to control it. ( which does not work all the time) or
3. You can have brain surgery done.( which was needed in my case because I had scar tissue on the the left temperal lobe of my brain) I knew having that surgery was a REAL BIG risk but
in my case it worked. Sometimes surgery is not possible for different reasons. Simply put one part of ur brain is trying to send a signal to the other side but, for some reason can not which
causes some sort of seizure. Hope that helps.

I am not sure I understand your question. Once a seizure occurs for the first time, a neurologist will conduct a series of tests (electroencephalogram, CAT scan, MRI, and blood studies) to arrive at his diagnosis. Afterward the patient will be placed on a medication regimen to control or lessen the seizure activity. There is no cure for epilepsy yet. Epilepsy can be genetic or the result of brain trauma, brain tumors or as a symptom of other neurological disorders. Hope this helps.
