Getting SSDI Benefits with Seizure Disorder
Let Our Experienced Virginia Lawyers Help
Seizure disorder is another term for epilepsy. When a person suffers from this condition, the brain's electrical signals are disrupted leading to a whole host of problems. While one minor seizure can be quite common, it is not until a person has experienced two or more episodes that epilepsy may be diagnosed.
Children and elderly people over age 65 are the segments of society most commonly diagnosed with epilepsy. According to the Epilepsy Foundation, 3 million Americans are affected by epilepsy and seizures, and approximately 200,000 new cases occur each year. The cost of this disorder accounts for $15.5 billion every year.

Types of Epilepsy
The medical community has grouped epilepsy into two categories:
- Partial or focal seizures, where only one part of the brain is affected
- Generalized seizures, where the entire brain is affected
Regardless of the type, epilepsy can have a devastating effect on a person's ability to live a normal life and hold a steady job.
Symptoms
It is a common myth that epilepsy only includes episodes of physical seizures. When the brain cells experience deviant activity, any part of the bodily or brain functions can be affected.

- Unconsciousness
- Emotion changes
