<br/><br/> "For years, doctors have reassured epilepsy patients that seizures are relatively benign. While a fall during a seizure may cause injury, the surge of electricity in the brain does no actual damage, patients were told. But mounting evidence now suggests that repeated seizures can indeed harm the brain--or, in rare cases, even lead to death." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article explains epilepsy and discusses how repeated seizures can have a cumulative, harmful effect.
