Epilepsy Program

Seizures can occur for many different reasons, and understanding the underlying cause is an important step in managing your health. Some of the most common causes include neurological conditions such as epilepsy, brain injuries, stroke, or infections affecting the brain. Seizures may also be triggered by metabolic imbalances, high fever (especially in children), certain medications, or withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. In some cases, stress, lack of sleep, or flashing lights can increase the risk of a seizure. Because the causes can vary widely, it’s important to work with an epileptologist who can evaluate your symptoms, perform appropriate testing, and create a personalized treatment plan.
