While seizures are a key symptom of epilepsy, not all seizures are caused by it. Conditions like first-time seizures, febrile seizures in children, eclampsia during pregnancy, meningitis, encephalitis, migraines, and nonepileptic events can all mimic the signs of epilepsy. In fact, nonepileptic events may look like seizures but aren't caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. To get an accurate diagnosis, doctors often recommend an EEG (Electroencephalogram), a test that measures brain activity and helps determine the type and cause of seizures. Early diagnosis is essential for proper treatment, so don’t assume; get tested and get clarity.
