I want to write a social media post about what epilepsy is and what kinds of seizures there are. It should be 3-4 paragraphs. It should include at least one fact about epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes seizures. According to the CDC about 1 in 10 people may have a seizure in their lifetime. Epilepsy is often diagnosed and managed by a neurologist or epileptologist. 

Epilepsy can be caused by stroke, infection, tumors, or unknown origin. Many people use medications, diet, or lifestyle changes to control seizure activity. Seizures can happen on their own or be triggered by something specific to the individual. In 2015, three million adults and 470,000 children had epilepsy. 

Many people are unaware that there are three types of seizures: generalized onset, focal onset, and unknown onset. Generalized onset seizures affect both sides of the brain, and include tonic-clonic, Tonic means the muscles stiffen, and clonic is when muscles jerk. During a focal seizure, people are awake and at least partially aware of what is happening. This kind affects only one side of the brain. Seizures of unknown onset occur without anyone witnessing them, or they are not visibly noticeable. Most seizures come to an end on their own, but some may require medical intervention to help the seizure to stop.
