First of all let me start off by saying that Epilepsy is the word used when someone has more than one seizure. There are many reasons why you could have Epilepsy, or could have developed it. You could have been born with it, you could of had a head injury, you could have taking the wrong drug or medication. Honestly, there are so many different types of seizures and I am just learning myself that you can have a seizure and not even no it, you can even have seizures in your sleep. I am 32 years old and i was diagnosed as an Epileptic 4 years ago. Let me tell you it has been draining. I am finding out that I have different kinds of seizures that may have even started as early as 10 years ago or more. The truth being that doctors are now finding more and more types of seizures that exist every day. I don't know why i developed it, but if I had to guess it would be because of all the drinking I did when I was younger and being on so many different medications for depression and anxiety, my Doctor would put me on something and if it didn't work he would take me off of it and put me on something else, I have sensitivities to medications also, I no longer have depression but at the time it was like having bottles of different pills just dumped on my brain. It is unfortunate that some doctors just don't care as ling as they get that extra money for writing you that script. but anyways I didn't mean to get off subject, I do that alot LOL. I hope that I helped at least a little. It is a hard thing to go through.

Recent studies show that epileptic people have less endocannabinoid receptors (CB1) and a less developed endocannabinoid system than others.

The endocannabinoid system is responsible for blocking seizures and exaggerated neuronal communication in the nervous system.
