Epilepsy And Seizure Disorders

Course overview

Epileptic seizures are caused by a part of the brain called a seizure focus that sends out erratic and uncoordinated electrical signals and a seizure occurs in response. Epilepsy is not considered to be a curable disease. However, it is a disease that can be managed. Although epilepsy is incurable, many people who have the disease are indistinguishable from those who do not have epilepsy. In the first year after someone has been diagnosed with epilepsy, approximately half of all patients will be free of seizures using only one anti-convulsant medication and there is a good chance that the epileptic patient will become seizure free. The longer someone is free of seizures the more optimistic the outlook. Get Unlimited CEUs for only $19.99 at cnaZone.com.
