i have epilepsy, but I don't know much about it. I was just diagnosed.

I see. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share that information. Well, as you may be aware, the basis of epilepsy is the fact that the term refers to a group of neurological disorders, and it's highlighted by epileptic seizures.

Yes, I started having seizures after I got into the anime TV show, One Punch Man. All the colors set something off.

That's interesting. Well, as you may be aware then, the seizures can be either brief and almost undetectable, or they can be long periods of vigorous shaking. What's also unfortunate is that with these seizures comes misunderstandings and social stigma from society.

Yeah, I never had any other health issues before. It just started randomly. Do you know when people first researched epilepsy?

Hans Berger reported his first important discoveries in the field of electroencephalography in the 1920s and '30s, that led to progression in the understanding of epilepsy. But the cause of most cases of epilepsy are still unknown, interestingly.

Wow, that's a long time ago. I find it amazing how much people were discovering with very rudimentary equipment.

I agree. Interesting that they were able to study brainwaves that long ago, and even more interesting than we still can't nail down a specific cause. One thing we do know is that the seizures are the result of excessive and abnormal nerve cell activity in the cortex of the brain.
