Are seizure disorder and epilepsy same?
Hi I am a mother of a 12 year old boy, he is having epilepsy since he was 5yr old. Some doctors have told it is because of some congenital defect, but he does not have any other problem. Some doctors have termed it as Seizure disorder and say it can be cured. Firstly I want to know what is the difference between epilepsy and seizure disorder? Which condition is worse and can both be treated?
