Studies show that those with family members with epilepsy have a tendency towards a higher risk for it as well. That does NOT mean it is passed on though from one generation to the next or within families as a heriditary disease.

Some epilepsy is inherited. There is also types of genetic epilepsy caused by de novo mutations which are not discovered to be carried by either parent. Epilepsy can also be from other reasons, brain injuries, drug addiction, some are even idiopathic meaning they do not know why.
