    neurological disorder causing recurrent, unprovoked seizures

These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which can lead to a variety of symptoms ranging from brief lapses in attention or muscle jerks to severe and prolonged convulsions. The condition can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery, but it requires careful diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional.
