Convulsions, also known as seizures, are sudden, involuntary movements caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. They can be classified into two main types: focal (partial) seizures, which affect only one part of the brain, and generalized seizures, which affect the whole brain.
Focal seizures can cause twitching or jerking in one part of the body, a change in the senses (such as smelling or hearing things that aren't there), or a feeling of fear. Generalized seizures can cause loss of consciousness, convulsions, or both.
There are many different causes of seizures, including epilepsy, head injuries, infections, brain tumors, and genetic disorders. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause of the seizures and may include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes. If you or someone you know experiences seizures, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
