what is the definition or description of: seizure disorder?

Recurring seizures: Seizure 'disorder' - tendency to have unprovoked recurrent seizures, often, not exclusively, convulsions.

It should not: Patients who suffer from a seizure disorder need to get good sleep.  If they are not sleeping well, seizures may be difficult to control.
