Entenda como a epilepsia pode atingir pessoas na fase adulta

Epilepsy is a brain disorder that affects approximately three million Brazilians. Although more common in children and the elderly, the disease can occur at any age, as is the case with actress Júlia Almeida, diagnosed at age 27, and actor Danny Glover, who had his first seizure at age 15. Genetic factors, head trauma, stroke, and meningitis are the most common causes, but alcohol abuse, drug use, and stress can worsen epileptic seizures. See the report by Samara Bastos.
