What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is not a single disease -- it is a spectrum of neurological conditions characterized by a tendency toward recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Seizures occur when clusters of nerve cells in the brain signal abnormally, causing changes in awareness, movement, sensation, or behavior.
It is far more than "grand mal" convulsions. Epilepsy includes over 40 different seizure types, from brief staring spells that last a few seconds to prolonged tonic-clonic convulsions. It affects people of all ages, though onset is most common in children and adults over 55.
Why Tracking Matters
- Detailed seizure diaries help your neurologist see the full picture
- Tracking medication adherence shows what's working over time
- Logging potential triggers helps identify patterns to discuss with your doctor
- Shareable reports make appointments more productive
Better data means better conversations with your care team. Leo gives you the tools to track seizures, medications, and potential triggers -- so your epileptologist has the information they need.
Seizure Types
Focal Aware (Simple Partial)
Consciousness is fully maintained. May experience aura symptoms: deja vu, tingling, visual changes, unusual tastes or smells. Often a warning that a larger seizure may follow.
Common treatment: Carbamazepine, lamotrigine, lacosamide
Focal Impaired Awareness (Complex Partial)
Altered consciousness with automatisms -- repetitive movements like lip smacking, hand rubbing, or picking at clothes. Person may appear confused or unresponsive. Most common focal seizure type.
Common treatment: Levetiracetam, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine
Generalized Tonic-Clonic (Grand Mal)
Loss of consciousness with body stiffening (tonic phase) followed by rhythmic jerking (clonic phase). Typically lasts 1-3 minutes. The seizure type most people recognize. Requires seizure first aid.
Common treatment: Valproate, levetiracetam, lamotrigine
Absence (Petit Mal)
Brief staring spells lasting 5-30 seconds. Person appears to 'blank out.' Very common in children ages 4-14. Often mistaken for daydreaming. May happen dozens of times per day.
Common treatment: Ethosuximide, valproate, lamotrigine
Myoclonic
Sudden, brief muscle jerks or twitches, often in the arms or upper body. Usually lasts less than a second. Often occur in clusters, especially shortly after waking. Common in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
Common treatment: Valproate, levetiracetam, clonazepam
Atonic (Drop Attacks)
Sudden loss of muscle tone causing the person to collapse or drop. Very brief but can cause serious injury from falls. Often requires wearing a protective helmet. Common in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
Common treatment: Valproate, clobazam, rufinamide
Many patients experience more than one seizure type. Classification can change over time as your neurologist learns more about your epilepsy.

Epilepsy Rarely Travels Alone
Depression, anxiety, and cognitive challenges are extremely common in epilepsy -- not just side effects, but part of the condition itself. Leo's multi-condition system tracks them all together.
Depression
In LeoAffects 30-50% of epilepsy patients. Bidirectional relationship -- depression increases seizure risk and vice versa.
Anxiety
In LeoCommon in epilepsy. Fear of seizures, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety significantly affect quality of life.
Migraine
In LeoShared neurological pathways. Migraines are 2x more common in people with epilepsy. Some AEDs treat both.
ADHD
In Leo2-5x more common in children with epilepsy. AEDs may worsen or improve attention symptoms.
Sleep Disorders
In LeoSleep deprivation is the most common seizure trigger. Epilepsy disrupts sleep architecture. Vicious cycle.
Cognitive Impairment
In LeoMemory and processing speed often affected. Both seizures and AEDs can contribute to cognitive slowing.
Autism Spectrum(ASD)
Up to 30% of children with ASD have epilepsy. Shared genetic and neurological mechanisms.
Bone Health Issues
Long-term AED use (especially phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproate) reduces bone density. Vitamin D and calcium monitoring essential.
