Question
What kind of harm does each epilepsy seizure cause to the brain?
Answer
Each epilepsy seizure can cause various harms to the brain. These harms mainly include disturbances to other bodily functions, such as potentially affecting breathing, blood pressure, and pulse, which can lead to harm to other organs. Additionally, epilepsy seizures may also impact lifespan, as certain seizures can be very sudden and easily trigger accidents, even in some cases leading to prolonged epilepsy status, which can cause damage to the brain. Epileptic seizures can also affect behavior; long-term patients may sometimes exhibit abnormal behavior, showing traits such as being uncommunicative, reclusive, irritable, and suspicious. Finally, epilepsy seizures can also cause damage to the brain, leading to memory impairment, a decline in intelligence, and personality changes, and may even result in an increase in seizure frequency.
