epilepsy means a person has recurring unprovoked seizures.

Epilepsy means a person has a chronic brain disorder characterized by recurring unprovoked seizures. Seizures are sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that temporarily disrupt normal brain function, leading to involuntary movements, sensations, or changes in awareness or behavior. A diagnosis of epilepsy is typically made when a person has had two or more unprovoked seizures that are not triggered by an immediate identifiable cause such as illness or injury.
