Epilepsy is not really a disease. It is a tendency to have seizures. There are many factors that can cause people to have seizures, not one cause. Each individual is different. Two people could have epilepsy, but how they got it, what way their seizures affect them, what way their seizures happen, what triggers their seizures, along with many other things that can be said about epilepsy, could be completely different. The only thing they have in common is that they have seizures and therefore both come under the category of having epilepsy. So because there are so many factors to be considered, there is no real process of epilepsy.
