You would be diagnosed with epilepsy if you are having recurring seizures. Every case of epilepsy is different as there are different forms and different levels of severity of epilepsy. So what happens to each person will depend on their case. They would likely put on some form of medication and may be sent for further tests and further appointments with their doctor will be made.
In the April 27, 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association Dr's. Modi and other investigators presented an investigation of a prospective longitudinal observational study of anti epileptic drug adherence in a consecutive cohort of 124 children aged two to twelve years who had just been diagnosed with epilepsy at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
It is possible that someone can have epilepsy for all of their life. That is not always the case. People can have it for anything from a very short periods of time right through to having it all of their lives. This will be down to the kind of epilepsy they have and the causes. Everyone and every case is different, so each individual has to be assessed. Someone can have epilepsy for life, but have it controlled by medication, so it may not be a major problem for them.
For most of the time, nothing is happening and their life is perfectly normal. It is only when they have a seizure that something happens. At all times there is electrical activity in the brain. If something happens to disrupt this a person can get a seizure. So a seizure can be caused by what could be described as an electrical storm or power surge in the brain. When this happens the person will behave differently, maybe losing concentration for a few seconds or sometimes for longer. They may become unconscious or start to shake. As their brain is not functioning properly, they will act differently. This may only be for seconds or for a few minutes. There are many types of seizure and many levels of severity so what happens to an individual will depend on the type of epilepsy they have and how serious their seizures are. Some people have them very regularly, but there can be days, weeks, months or even years between a person's seizures.
A person is diagnosed with epilepsy when they have had more than one seizure.

That would need to be a matter for a physician. Medication may not always be recommended or appropriate.
We need to observe the symptoms of the disease and age of the patient while administering medication. One should also be careful about the expiry date of the medicine before giving it to the patient.
No, when a person has diarrhea they do not need hemorrhoid treatment. The causes of diarrhea can vary and so does the treatment. Hemorrhoids are another issue and needs a different medication.
Ahh, somebody is taking their CPR certification. You need to remove the medication pad if the AED pads will overlap. With a gloved hand, remove the patch from the person's chest.

It is a person who helps you with your problems and can prescribe medication if you need it. They try and find out exactly what you have that you think is wrong with you also.
Generally, it would be no different than any other person. Epilepsy can be caused by a wide range of things. Any dietary advice can only be given if the details of a person's epilepsy is known. Talk to your doctor, although it is unlikely that any specific advice would be given.
A medication (drug) is given to treat a specific illness or condition. Each person's need for a medication is different than other people--which is why no one should share medications. An easy example is a blood pressure (B/P) medication given to lower the pressure when a person has a high B/P.
