There are all sorts of causes of Epilepsy. Different people have it for different reasons. It can happen as a result of a head injury for example. It may be an indication of something more seriously wrong. People who develop brain cancer can first experience seizures. About 1 in every 200 people have epilepsy but almost anyone can experience an epilepsy-related incident during their lifetime. Some people have epilepsy during childhood but it stops as they grow older. People can have experiences of it during their teenage years as their body changes, but again it can clear up later.
