A seizure is a sudden, abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause various symptoms, ranging from brief staring episodes to full-blown convulsions. Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain that disrupt normal brain activity. There are many different types of seizures, varying in severity and duration depending on the individual and the underlying cause.
Seizures can be caused by a wide range of factors, including:
The symptoms of a seizure can vary depending on the type of seizure and the individual. Some common symptoms of a seizure may include:
Diagnosing seizures typically involves a thorough medical history, physical exam, and neurological evaluation. Additional tests may be necessary to determine the underlying cause of the seizure, including blood tests, EEG (electroencephalogram), CT scan or MRI, and neurological imaging tests.
Treatment for seizures depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the symptoms. Medications can be prescribed for many individuals with seizures to help manage the symptoms and prevent future seizures. Other treatments may include surgery, electrical stimulation, or lifestyle modifications.

Living with seizures can be challenging, as they can significantly impact a person’s daily life. Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can manifest in different ways, including loss of consciousness, muscle spasms, and convulsions. While there is no cure for seizures, many strategies can help people manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
One of the most important aspects of living with seizures is understanding the triggers that can lead to seizures. Common triggers include lack of sleep, stress, flashing lights, and certain medications or drugs. By identifying and avoiding triggers, people with seizures can reduce the frequency and severity of their seizures.
Another important strategy for managing seizures is taking medication as prescribed. Anticonvulsant medications, also known as antiepileptic drugs, can help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. However, it is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to find the right medication and dosage, as some medications can have side effects or interact with other medications.
In addition to medication, many other strategies can help people manage seizures. For example, some people find relief from seizures by following a ketogenic diet, which is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. Others may benefit from relaxation techniques, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises, to reduce stress and anxiety.
Living with seizures can also be emotionally challenging. People with seizures may feel isolated or stigmatized and may worry about having a seizure in public. Support groups or counseling can help people cope with the emotional toll of living with seizures and provide a sense of community and understanding.
One of the most important aspects of living with seizures is maintaining safety. Seizures can be unpredictable and can occur at any time, which can be dangerous in certain situations. People with seizures should work closely with their healthcare provider to develop a safety plan, which may include strategies for managing seizures in public, such as wearing a medical alert bracelet and taking precautions to reduce the risk of injury during seizures, such as padding sharp corners in the home.
It is also important for people with seizures to maintain open and honest communication with their healthcare provider. Regular check-ups and monitoring can help ensure that seizures are well-managed and that any changes in medication or treatment are made as needed.
Living with seizures can be challenging, but many strategies can help people manage their condition and improve their quality of life. By understanding triggers, taking medication as prescribed, and implementing strategies to reduce stress and anxiety, people with seizures can reduce the frequency and severity of their seizures.
Additionally, by working closely with healthcare providers to develop a safety plan and maintain regular check-ups and monitoring, people with seizures can ensure they manage their condition effectively and stay safe.
I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
