In normal humans, the brain cells produce some electrical energy sent through the nervous system to move the muscles, but in cases of epilepsy, the patient's brain fails to control the production of electrical energy and thus the epileptic shock occurs when these cells come out a sudden and violent surge of electrical energy.

Treatment of Epilepsy :

1 - Epilepsy is treated with medication as epileptic sedatives and this treatment does not cure the disease, but prevent the occurrence of seizures .
