Scar tissue, where ever it is found is a
healing place from a "wound". In the case
of the brain it can be from an infection,
head injury or unknown cause.
the onset of epilepsy can often be traced
to an accident, disease or medical trauma
— such as a stroke — that injures your
brain or deprives it of oxygen, often
causing a small scar in your brain. In
rare occasions, epilepsy may be caused by
a tumor in your brain. However, in many
cases there's no identifiable cause for
the disease.
Epilepsy isn't a mental disease, although
mental health can influence the control of
seizures in epilepsy. Epilepsy doesn't
cause psychiatric problems or mental
retardation, but people with epilepsy may
also be afflicted with those conditions.
