Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epilepsy can have multiple causes including genetics (inherited genes), trauma to the brain (such as head injury), and infections in the brain (such as meningitis or encephalitis). It is not limited to only infections or genetic abnormalities, and emotional stress can trigger seizures in people with epilepsy but is not a direct cause.
