Understanding the difference between Epilepsy and Seizures | Dr. Harirama K Acharya

A seizure is an abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which spreads to different parts of the brain, causing jerks in one side of the body, sudden distortion of vision, or strange sounds. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which the patient suffers from an abnormal electrical activity, causing seizures and loss of consciousness.
