Epilepsy, a disorder of unprovoked seizures is a multifaceted disease affecting
individuals of all ages with a particular predilection for the very young and
old. In addition to seizures, many patients often report cognitive and
psychiatric problems associated with both the seizures themselves and its
therapy. Epilepsy has numerous etiologies both idiopathic and acquired with a
wide range of therapeutic responses. Despite numerous treatments available to
control repetitive seizures including medications, diets, immunotherapy, surgery,
and neuromodulatory devices, a large percentage of patients continue to suffer
the consequences of uncontrolled seizures, which include psychosocial stigma and
death.
