How do you know if seizures are controlled?
Many types of seizures are controllable with medication. The problem is that many are not. Most people with a chronic seizure condition (epilepsy) can have their seizures well controlled with medications, yet once in a while if they are ill or under extreme stress, they may have an occasional one. Other seizures are caused by medical conditions and are usually one of the symptoms of increasing illness. There are medications that can be given to control these seizures as well, but they are only truly resolved if the condition that caused them is resolved. The last kind are febrile seizures. They often occur in young children, only require medication if they are frequent, and the children often "grow out" of the condition as they mature. If you are having seizures, or know someone who is, please encourage a visit with a good doctor who can find the reasons for them and may be able to get them well under control.
Where and how in the body do seizures happen?
Seizures happen in the brain. As your brain effects the entire body, other parts can be seen to be affected when seizures happen, like people shaking. Your brain is constantly active, with lots of electrical activity. If something disrupts that activity then the brain may malfunction for a moment. In simple terms that is what happens when seizures happen. In reality it is far more complicated than that. There are many kinds of seizures and many causes of seizures, so there is not a single specific answer to that part of your question. Seizures have many causes and many levels of severity. What causes a seizure in one person may have no effect on someone else. It is commonly thought that flashing lights cause seizures for anyone that has epilepsy. In fact that is a cause of seizures in only about 3% to 5% of all people who have epilepsy. So most people with epilepsy have absolutely no problem with flashing lights. Their seizures have other causes which can be many and varied.
