The concentration of various substances increases, for example calcium, which has a damaging effect on the nerve cell.
The result of a single epileptic seizure is that some nerve cells are lost.
This is of great importance, as nerve cells cannot be recreated.
Repeated seizures over a number of years will lead to a considerable loss of nerve cells. The same can be seen after status epilepticus.

The result is a premature senile decay, so-called dementia, which causes noticeable forgetfulness, memory loss, unstable temperament and increasing lack of judgement and emotional bluntedness.
It is therefore vital to get seizures treated and under control as soon as possible.

Like an office building or a computer, the brain is a highly complex electrical system, powered by roughly 80 pulses of energy per second.
These pulses move back and forth between nerve cells to produce thoughts, feelings, and memories

An epileptic seizure occurs when these energy pulses come much more rapidly-as many as 500 per second for a short time-due to an electrical abnormality in the brain.
This brief electrical surge can happen in just a small area of the brain, or it can affect the whole brain.

Depending on the part of the brain that is affected, the surge of electrical energy can cause:

Changes in a person's sensations or state of consciousness.

Uncontrolled movements of certain parts of the body or of the whole body.

These changes are known as an epileptic seizure.

Epilepsy is also known as a seizure disorder because the tendency is to have recurrent seizures.
Epileptic seizures vary in severity and frequency, and even in the time of day they occur.
While some people may experience no more than two or three seizures during their entire lifetime,
others will have several seizures in one day
