Hvordan påvises epilepsi?

Epilepsi er samlebetegnelsen for en gruppe ulike tilstander som medfører tilbakevendende epileptiske anfall. Anfallene kan gi ulike symptomer, for eksempel ukontrollerte bevegelser, plutselig svekkelse i muskulaturen, episoder med fjernhet og manglende kontakt, taleproblemer, synsforstyrrelser, kramper i hele kroppen og bevisstløshet.
