Epilepsy

[kyramarios constanti]

I was wondering what are the most effective treatments for epilepsy 
both surgical and medicinal?  I would also like to know how a seizure or 
epileptic fit occurs.  I am curious because someone dear to me has a form 
of mild epilepsy and experiences unconsciousness or an inability to 
speak when conscious when she has a seizure.  She has had seizures for 
almost a year now and has tried various medicines to no avail.

	I would greatly appreciate a response.  THANK YOU
