Yes. Examples: a head injury, lack of oxygen at birth, infection, or unknown causes.
False. The full causes of epilepsy are still not completely understood.
Injuries or trauma can damage parts of the brain, leading to abnormal electrical activity that causes seizures.

Yes. Some people have seizures as children, then years later again as adults.
Triggers can include stress, anxiety, tiredness, flashing lights, or missed medication.
