<unk>  is a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures.During a seizure, a person experiences abnormal behavior, symptoms, and sensations, sometimes including loss of consciousness. There are few symptoms between seizures. A seizure is a single occurrence, whereas<unk>  is a neurological condition characterized by two or more unprovoked seizures (Johns Hopkins Medicine).<unk>  is the most common childhood brain disorder in the United States. Nearly 3 million people have been diagnosed with this disease, while 450,000 of them are under the age of 17. Two thirds of the child population will overcome the side effects, including seizures, through treatment during adolescence. Some treatments include surgery, medication and therapy, surgery however is only done if the child has drug resistant<unk>  (Rekha Dwivedi, Ph.D. et.al) . A doctor will most often diagnose a child with<unk> , also known as seizure disorder, if the child has one or more seizures, if the doctor thinks they could have another one, and if their seizures aren't caused by another medical condition. Some forms of<unk>  end after childhood. There are four main types of<unk> : focal, generalized, combination focal and generalized, and unknown. A doctor generally diagnoses someone with<unk>  if they have had two or more unprovoked seizures (Medical News Today). Approximately 70% of<unk>  who have<unk>  during their childhood outgrow it. There are also some seizures, such as febrile seizures, that are one-time occurrences during childhood, and do not result in permanent<unk> . Pediatric<unk>  may cause changes in the development of the brain. Even when seizures are well controlled,<unk>  may present a host of other issues that can impact a child's development and ability to function normally. Cognitive impairments that affect language, memory, attention, and other abilities critical to normal development are common among people with<unk>  (Mass General).
