Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent and unprovoked seizures. Clinical epilepsy refers to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy. In this article, we will discuss the definition, epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical epilepsy.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent and unprovoked seizures, caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can range from mild to severe and can cause loss of consciousness, convulsions, and other symptoms. Epilepsy affects people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities and is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting approximately 1% of the population worldwide.
