Seizure
A sudden, uncontrolled burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. From zero: brain cells (neurons) talk to each other with tiny electrical signals. In a seizure, a group of neurons suddenly all "shout" at once — like a stadium crowd that was whispering suddenly screaming together. This causes sudden changes in movement, behaviour, feeling, or consciousness.

Epilepsy
A long-term brain condition in which a person has a tendency to have repeated, unprovoked seizures — two or more seizures occurring without an immediate trigger (like high fever or head injury at that moment). One seizure does not equal epilepsy.
