The seventh and last etiological factor i.e. excessive degeneration or debility may lead to pathogenesis of apasmara , pointing at ''dhatukshayajanya vataprakopa'' (vitiation of ''vata'' due to depletion of tissues) as a root cause. The degeneration might be a secondary condition resulting from other diseases. Hypo-perfusion and low levels of oxygen and metabolism could result in brain cell dysfunctions causing seizures. This is analogous to the concept of ''ati upakshaya'' in [[Ayurveda]]. Therefore, a clinical examination of depletion of tissues (''dhatukshaya'') could be considered as a treatment component in the management of apasmara.

Acute and severe electrolyte imbalances (hyponatremia, hypocacemia and hypomagnesemia) frequently cause seizures.
