People with epilepsy may be classified into different<unk>  based on specific clinical features. These features include the age at which seizures begin, the seizure types, and EEG findings, among others. Identifying an<unk> is useful as it helps determine the underlying causes as well as deciding what anti-seizure medication should be tried.<unk>  are more commonly diagnosed in infants and children. Some examples of<unk>  include benign rolandic epilepsy (2.8 per 100,000), childhood absence epilepsy (0.8 per 100,000) and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (0.7 per 100,000). Severe<unk>  with diffuse brain dysfunction caused, at least partly, by some aspect of epilepsy, are also referred to as epileptic encephalopathies. These are associated with frequent seizures that are resistant to treatment and severe cognitive dysfunction, for instance Lennox-Gastaut<unk> and West<unk>
