Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Epilepsy
- Epilepsy is a disorder resulting in abnormal electrical discharges from the brain cells causing
seizures. - Anyone can develop epilepsy. It affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages.
- Seizure symptoms can vary widely. Some people with epilepsy simply stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms or legs. At least two seizures without a known trigger (unprovoked seizures) that happen at least 24 hours apart are generally required for an epilepsy diagnosis.
- Treatment with medications or sometimes surgery can control seizures for the majority of people with epilepsy. Some people require lifelong treatment to control seizures, but for others, the seizures eventually go away. Some children with epilepsy may outgrow the condition with age.
