Abstract

Convulsions, also known as seizures, are a manifestation of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, resulting in involuntary muscle contractions and altered consciousness. They stem from a diverse range of underlying causes, including genetic factors, head injuries, infections, brain tumors, and metabolic imbalances. This phenomenon's impact on individuals can be profound, leading to challenges in various aspects of life. Promoting awareness and understanding of convulsions is crucial to dispel misconceptions and reduce stigma. Advancements in medical interventions and research hold promise for better management and treatment. This abstract provides an overview of convulsions, their physiological basis, impact, and the importance of awareness, education, and ongoing research.
