Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness. Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages.

Yes and no. Yes, it affects your brain, but it can also affect your life. Assuming you know how epilepsy works, if someone deals with a flashing light or something, they could die and that doesn't affect just the brain
