Epileptogenesis is the process by which the brain develops epilepsy.
The cause of epilepsy in many cases is unknown, but you can learn all about Neurobiology & Etiology of Epilepsy here:
https://neurotorium.org/slidedeck/epilepsy-neurobiology-and-etiology/
People living with epilepsy often have various psychiatric and wider somatic comorbidities, leading to the question ‘epilepsy, and what else?’ .
Our Epilepsy Comorbidities deck provides an overview of the different types of comorbidities: https://neurotorium.org/slidedeck/epilepsy-comorbidities/
Affecting over 50 million people worldwide, around 80% of those living with epilepsy reside in low- and middle-income countries. Yet, epilepsy prevalence may still be underestimated due to limitations of the methodologies.

There are three levels of diagnosis of epilepsy: Seizure type, Epilepsy type, and Epilepsy syndrome.
