Falling disease

Falling disease is an ancient name for epilepsy that was used back in the Middle Ages. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases, which manifests itself in the form of seizures. A seizure occurs as a result of a sudden disruption of brain function, which can cause a person to lose consciousness and fall.

Seizures can vary in intensity and duration. In some cases, an epileptic seizure lasts only a few seconds or minutes, while in others it can last several hours. In addition, seizures can vary from person to person and vary in frequency.

Falling sickness can be diagnosed using both laboratory methods and electroencephalography (EEG). Thus, epilepsy is a serious disease that requires consultation with a doctor and constant monitoring of the condition.
