The major sign of epilepsy is seizures. When you have had more than one seizure, neurologists will do tests (MRI and EEG) to locate the trigger point of the seizure. Depending on the type of seizure you have, they will then start you on a medication. If medication fails to control the seizures, there are other alternatives. These include the ketogenic diet, VNS, and surgery.

The word intractable means hard to control. It can be used in relation to many things. Lots of things can be intractable.

It is not a form of epilepsy, just a general description as to how serious a person's epilepsy has become. As it is a general term there is no specific point of measurement to say when someone has intractable epilepsy. The majority of people with epilepsy lead very normal lives.
