Most probably epilepsy indeed, it fits the symptoms and the age. It is important to rule other possibilities though (blood test should rule out some of them). Treatment for epilepsy is done medically and this treatment will need to be given on a daily basis, there is no other way other than taking her to the vet in order to get it sorted.
