A member asked:
Can a person with no health problems develop epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately Yes: With the exception of very young children and the elderly, the cause of a seizure is usually not identifiable. In about seven out of ten people with epilepsy (repeated unprovoked seizures), no cause can be found.
