Epilepsy is not a specific illness, but more a general term for people who tend to have seizures. A seizure is as a result of an increased amount of electrical activity in the brain. There are different forms of epilepsy and different people have different triggers for their seizures. Something that may trigger epilepsy in one person might have no affect on another person. You often hear that flashing lights, strobe lights etc. cause epileptic seizures. That only has the potential to trigger a seizure with people who have what is called photosensitive epilepsy. Other people who have epilepsy have abslolutely no porblems with flashing lights. For other people it could be tiredness or stress for example. Some may have epilepsy after receiving a head injury, like if they had been in a car accident. There are many other reasons. For some it isn't even certain what causes their seizures.
