Abstract
Objective: To optimally describe the perspectives on epilepsy, in order to elucidate its main etiologies, as well as its pathophysiology, with the aim of listing its main forms of diagnosis and treatment. Literature review: Epilepsy has individualities, which is directly related to the syndrome based on it, as well as the age range of its incidence. All of this, reflecting the same intensity in its diagnostic and therapeutic approach. All of this, culminating in efforts by the collective of health professionals to elucidate better diagnostic and treatment methods. Final considerations: Understanding, therefore, the singularities of epileptic disease proves to be of great value for excellent management of patients with it, in order to improve diagnostic and therapeutic methods, providing patients with a better quality of life and minimizing the impacts of the disease. Tireless research and collaboration between healthcare professionals pave the way for a promising future for epilepsy patients.
