Epilepsy, a term referring to chronic, recurrent seizures, is a neurological condition effecting 2.3 million people in the United States, with the highest rates of incidence reported in children under five years of age and in the elderly. According to data gathered between 1986 and 1990, the prevalence of this condition in children under the age of 15 is estimated to be 4.0 per 1000. The term epilepsy is used to describe any recurrent seizure pattern. A seizure is characterized by an abnormal discharge of nerve cells in the brain that can cause altered awareness or abnormal sensations, involuntary movements or convulsion.
