Not especially. Anyone can have it. About 1 in every 200 people do. Epilepsy is classified as someone having recurring seizures. Absolutely anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime and not ever have one again. There are many forms of epilepsy and many causes, making it possible to happen to anybody. It is because there are so many causes and forms that one overall label is used to cover them all, which is epilepsy.
