A member asked:
Can strong emotions or intense cerebral activity trigger a small seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not these: A seizure is normally caused by irritation of the surface of the brain, as in the setting of an injury or an infection, or a congenital change that leads to a risk of seizures. Intense cerebral activity (example?) or strong emotions do not cause epileptic seizures.
