Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable periods to long periods of vigorous shaking. These episodes can result in physical injuries, including occasionally broken bones.In epilepsy, seizures tend to recur and, as a rule, have no immediate underlying cause.Isolated seizures that are provoked by a specific cause such as poisoning are not deemed to represent epilepsy. People with epilepsy may be treated differently in various areas of the world and experience varying degrees of social stigma due to their condition.
The cause of most cases of epilepsy is unknown.Some cases occur as the result of brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, infections of the brain, and birth defects through a process known as epileptogenesis. Known genetic mutations are directly linked to a small proportion of cases. Epileptic seizures are the result of excessive and abnormal neuronal activity in the cortex of the brain. The diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions that might cause similar symptoms, such as fainting, and determining if another cause of seizures is present, such as alcohol withdrawal or electrolyte problems.This may be partly done by imaging the brain and performing blood tests. Epilepsy can often be confirmed with an electroencephalogram (EEG), but a normal test does not rule out the condition.

Thanks for explaining this Ive learned I hv focal Epilepsy
God please help us for this problem..this is so irritating for normal life🙂
I have Tonic Clonic seizures and didn't know much about the others along with the different tests and treatments until now. Great Video. Keep up the good work and educational material for it is a perpetually vital source of information.
Life was grand as a toddler, going on weekend trips with my parents, playing with my friends and listening to grandma as she shared one inspiring story after another about the good old days. What more could a child ask for than the love and comfort of her family?
Surprising life quickly took a turn for the worst and that pathway I was destined to journey became rocky as traumatic obstacles crossed my life path and took me on a different journey. A journey, one no child should have to experience.
The Beginning
At the age of five, I had contracted a sore throat and an ear infection. My mother had brought me to the doctor’s office that evening and the pediatrician had put me on penicillin and told my mother to have me rest in bed. No one thought much of it at the time.
I rested in bed and I was on the penicillin for about ten days. On the tenth night when she put me to bed, my lips were more red than usual. The next morning at about 8:00 A.M., my mother woke up because she heard unusual noises coming from my room that sounded like I was choking on my saliva. She walked into my bedroom to find me in my bed turning blue and having a grand mal seizure. This was the first time I ever experienced a seizure.

My dad says I may have it but what happens when I see flashing lights I get eye floaters for a few minutes
are you okay now؟
I know how you feel I’ve had them since I was about a year old but they were fairly random having about all kinds of them even on meds until the last 10 years I believe but the side effects turned nasty a few months ago when I got 2 kidney stones an about 2 months apart one worse than the other they suspected it was one of my meds and switching to the new one has had them come back unfortunately I’ve tried almost ever medication there is except for 2 the one I’m switching to and 1 they are saving for a last resort but unfortunately I can’t really do any other option with generalized seizures but hoping for the best with this new one 🤞fingers crossed.
Thank you sir
You are welcome

this really made me think if I want to buy Beat Saber on my Oculas
I been having Seizures for six years now and they've been doing me very bad I've been hospitalized 11 times and it is what I can remember AND a few times when they called The ambulance I didn't go with them.i am aftaid to go to sleep many times.
Try CBD oil. That’s supposed to help stop seizures. I started taking that stuff this past weekend and I already feel a lot happier. I wish I knew about CBD oil when I was 11 when my seizures came back. I’ve had it with those things and waking up every morning afraid I might have one later that day.
i hope someone sees and knows the answer. i had what i believe is a tonic-clonic seizure because what i felt like i was getting head numbness and i was barely able to think i could only move for a bit then i would pass out and when i woke up i had a little trouble getting my consciousness fully like i was half awake and i bit my tongue. this has happened to me twice, the 1st time it felt like the upper part of my body froze and i could only move my legs and the 2nd time it felt like my head froze but i could barely move the rest of my body. so is this a seizure or a epilepsy or whats wrong?
note: it kinda feels like a computer getting so laggy after getting so many orders that it freezes and restarts.
another note: after my 2nd seizure the dr gave me keppra 1000mg to take twice a day, he said i gotta keep taking it for 2 years, if a seizure happens again the 2 years restart and he told im not allowed to drive, swim or play playstation until those 2 years are over.
Hold up.. do i have epilepsy? I have had very high fevers a lot when i was younger. I might have gotten seizures but i thought it was bc of a different thing i have. I stare into space a lot and my muscles twitch a lot too. I have anxiety as well. Welp
Shreksbabydaddy suckindic yoo sameee no joke. my sister has absence epilepsy and i was terrified when she had one. my anxiety gotten worse my depression got worse and my thoughts got worse. so maybe
God we always guide Us💓💓💓
Sucks god doesnt exist
@@0akBeanz that's you not everyone
@@0akBeanz Exactly, if god do exist he wouldn't have let any of us experience this kind of experiences or let us suffer with this illnesses since we were born from this world. How could a perfect being make huge mistakes to his "intelligent designs"
@@spikespiegel3363 If you had a car, and broke down are you going to say “Oh the car broke down so that means nobody created the car”
He exists for me he has helped me through all these experiences and is my only hope although he can’t stop what has happened because of the medications that have caused me to have seizures he still loves me and us unconditionally and makes me feel safe and protected. Thank you God for helping us with this I’m on a medication to help stop seizures so I have faith that anything is possible and he can help it stop and if not it’s okay I can live with it and it won’t ruin my life
I’m being tested for this next week
You good?
I’ve thought about committing suicide many times because of my stupid seizures. I don’t know how I would do it but I keep having those thoughts. The only thing that keeps me from doing it is my siblings and how I can’t do that to them.
No ...don't plsss.... every person has their own problem plss don't do ir
Hey although I don't know you, I also have epilepsy. I know how difficult it feels, trust me your family loves you. With time it will soon get better. In the mean time, go out and distract yourself! Keep your head up!
dear i suggest you should reach out to salami_on instagram for a quick cure
I think you should find things to entertain you.. Try to make your life to have adventures eg go to church, go out, have fun. You may need to have a routine so that incase you have a seizure you will remember everything. I know its hard
@@progressposhndlovu9595 I do things. I go bowling twice a week, I visit my friends whenever I can. Haven’t been able to visit them because of Covid. I find joy in doing word searches (I know that may sound boring). This past weekend I started taking CBD oil and what a difference that’s made. I feel calm, relaxed and happy. I haven’t felt that happy in years. I hope that’ll help get rid of those stupid seizures.
I have Jeavon's Syndrome which is a rare form of Epilepsy and
my eyes flutter a lot but that is just because of my kind of Epilepsy
I get Eyelid Myoclonia Seizures everyday,and they are caused by light
and I usually don't get a lot of convulsive seizures
I'm sorry to hear about your condition. Eyelid myoclonia seizures triggered by light are characteristic of Jeavon's Syndrome. Managing light exposure might help reduce the frequency of these seizures.
My mother just had a seizure and shes getting a MRI tomorrow...Im scared and I dont know what to do, I thoght maybe if I do research on it I can help her in some sort of way.
hope she doing better
This might of happend to me because one day in 1st grade I blinked my eyes then I was laying on the pavement staring into the sun! I allways thought it was because of the hotness but it may not be
If it happened once then you might have had a seizure but not epilepsy
Can you answer this. Occasionally my eyes roll back and twitch and my face twitches too..is that a seizure or epilepsy
I also often to behave strangely, don't worry fellow robloxian, God accompanies us.
It is a complex partial seizure. I have those. One was caught on a VEEG recently and I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Please get it checked out with a neurologist. 🙏🏼❣️
interesting very interesting
Am i have a question do epelepsey will gone in your body
i hate to say this but i got high and started master baiting and when i stood up and tried to pee in a cup but i couldn’t pee then my vision felt like when u stand up fast then i fell on the ground and felt like a loop like when they say bad acid trip yeah i felt like i got stunned and then in a loop depression anxiety and all that stuff is bad like i have ocd and small adhd but that craps a walk in the park compared to being in a loop and i felt like in call of duty when ur badly damaged and it’s like in and out sound like when u get flashbanged type of deal was this a seizure or not?
Anybody here suffer from nocturnal seizures I.e seizures that only comes during sleep?
And do these seizures have cure
There is a good chance i might have a form of epilepsy, about 3-4years ago I would have moments where I would 'zone out' for about 5 to 7 seconds and forget what I was talking about if I was talking, then over time it became more frequent, it started as once every 3-4 months, not I have at least 1 to 3 every week or 2 weeks.
I had an MRI and my doctor requested an EEG so....i am a little concerned.
I also do have autism, so that might be a factor too.
edit: I also do think I have a focal type of a seizure, as every now and then my leg or arm with jerk violently, and as stated I have moments where I 'zone out'.
How you doing?
@@trevorphilips9065 I am doing pretty good, turns out I have complex Partial Seizures, so yeh I am on Lamotrigine at the moment.
but sometimes 'I need to meditate'.
@@HonestLettuce Damn well I wish you well.
@@trevorphilips9065 Thanks, did you get the reference?
@@HonestLettuce I don't think so
I want to tell my story. I’m epileptic and I was diagnosed with epilepsy in early 2020 me and my mother were going threw a hard time and we didn’t have enough money to go to a neurologist and I had to wait until we had enough money to go to neurologist and he said I’m surprised you haven’t died because I’ve only had grandmal and then I started having clonic seizures badly and a week after that I got out of my moms car and and was gonna say bye to her to get on to the bus and I just started having clonic seizures back to back and I looked at my mom and a I saw the horror in her eyes and I the bus just arrived and I was in middle school and I saw my friends faces just in horror and the little kids on the bus I felt so bad after I woke up and after I woke up in the hospital I looked at my mom and I “said is everyone okay.” I don’t know why I would say that but yeah, afterwords I went to school by my decision and one of my friends came up to me and said you okay and I said yes to brush it off but I was not okay I’ve been having seizures since 2019 and I got depressed because I wanted to run in track and if I kept having clonic seizures I won’t be able to and I couldn’t and it was my last year in middle school and I lost hope of becoming a sprinter. After that moment a girl I knew from 1 grade came up to me and gave me a hug and said “ you okay” I said yes like I always do and a lot of teachers came up to me and asked about me but the same answer, after a while my memory started to become better, then I started freshman but my mom was dating a piece of garbage who was a racist a crack addict and meth and coke addict and he did opioids and harassed my mom and he made me have seizures and made me cry and one night he was gonna leave because my mom was kicking him out he heated a ring tone and jumped on my mom and took her phone and she tried to take it back and she got pushed and shoved to the ground and all I can here is struggling and crying and screaming and I woke up and tried to grab my phone and call the cops and My hand was grasped around my phone and I had a small seizure but I came back to reality fast and I called them he fled and was hiding near by to grab his dog and he harassed me and my mom again and he has a warrant out for his arrest for 14-15 grand sorry I don’t like to talk about it because it makes me have clonic seizures bu anyway, I was doing in one thing I couldn’t do good in algebra I sucked at the other curriculums but I was good at this until January 14th I was doing online school and I was in the middle of class thanks to my teacher we could have our cameras off and I had the worst seizure of my life, my mom came home said why are you missing school I missed a couple classes I never cared about bc i thought algebra was fun somehow but after I told her why they said the cops would show if I missed more classes and started having clonic seizures and my mom said to lay back in bed and I did and I said I’m fine bc when I have a seizure and I see someone in shock my hearts in physical pain it’s sharp. When I went full granmal i heard my mom say “ALEX” “ ALEX” “alex” then I feel my jaw opened and my jaw muscles tense up so hard my ears ring so loud and my brain concentrates on that sound it becomes louder and louder and then quiet I have vivid memories of it I remember it being so cold and my mom helping me get my shoes on and the paramedics pick me up and put me on a stretcher and they ask me questions and I only remember one of them saying “You still there?” and I was still half conscious and half unconscious and I woke up in the hospital with a nurse talking to my mom about my info and my mom told her and the nurse left the room and I asked my mom “ how long was it?” She said” 7-8 minutes and I was in shock remember if it’s longer then that 8 minutes it can kill you and I realized that the least amount of stress can kill me or harm me severely and I became sorta depressed because I’m walking on a thin rope some people are walking on but I tell people I hope your getting better and I’m telling myself I will get better to but I never get better I’m getting worse by the minute when I moved down to a home town of mine because we had no other because my town I was living in was becoming shit and we almost went homeless but i moved to a small hometown but I had a lot of people I knew and I was excited but not bc I knew people and they didn’t know me so I just stayed in my lane playing on my computer or doing “ work “ but after a while people tried talking to me I never talked to anybody except family or teachers but in my last class I had people I knew from younger grades when I was younger they tried to I have in and I got along with some people and these two girls stuck out to me they were so nice and they genuinely wanted to talk to me so I gave in too, they were nice but one was nice but mean but one is just really nice and cares about people and I told what happened and they said sorry I kinda began to have a friendship with them but I recently got an Apple Watch which had a seizure app and it detected when I was about to have a seizure and I had one each day for about three weeks and I couldn’t go to school and couldn’t finish and I have to restart but I’m gonna miss a lot of people because I was building a friendship but I don’t know if I’ll be there to see them because if I have a seizure I might die which idk if I feel better then I should, as I was typing this I am trying not to cry or have any seizures I want to tell you people who have been epileptic , my memory is fading away I can barely recognize people is this a side affect or?
are you okay now؟
I read your post and feel sad
Did you go to the hospital؟
Do you take some medicine to relieve epilepsy, you have to go to the hospital and they will give you medicine without money, but I don't know where you live.😢
I don't know if you understood anything of my words, but I can't write in English, just go to Google Translate
I have a vr headset and have been playing on it, I've been feeling really nautious. Is it motion sickness or what
Bro it’s motion sickness
That’s motion sickness don’t worry :)
it just sometimes happens
Its 5 years old maybe tgere are better meds with not so annoying side effects
I thoot I had adhd but i guess this is more fitting tbh... for me
I'd suggest revisiting your treatment plan, as newer medications with fewer side effects may be available. ❤️
Does generalized seizure have cure?
No epilepsy sadly doesn't have a cure.
Its individual. For some its enough to take drugs and have a life regime like enough sleep etc...
Not for me tho :/
There is a medicine that relieves epilepsy but does not make it go away
Have you tried CBD oil?
Have you tried grounding or earthing for epilepsy?
Im scared that i might have it
:((( Because I have anxiety :((
Me toooo:(
I have anxiety but I only have anxiety about my health,
But this doesn't affect my anxiety unless I don't know

Prolly anxiety or sum else

Can tea causa a seizure
A lot of caffeine can cause seizures. I know that because I have seizures too which is why I lay off the coffee sometimes. My seizures always start with my eyes moving fast, then my muscles tighten up, my face starts twitching and if the seizure gets worse my whole body starts shaking. Some scary stuff. Thankfully I’m alert when having a seizure. After it passes it takes awhile for my eyes to calm down completely before I’m able to move again. My last seizure was a week ago today.
@@DoubleM-hf6ih so like tea
@@DoubleM-hf6ih or coffee
A lot of tea and coffee can cause seizures. Any large amount of caffeine.
@@DoubleM-hf6ih thank u i was telling my mom this because she had elipsey and she thought i was being hard when i wasnt just being more cautious now
They first blamed drinking but I don't drink but I said I is smoke weed so they said it's The smoking
شسالفه شجابني هنا🤕💔😂
I might have it because I think of suicidal-
3:14 well shit I have epilepsy
Ooooo
the visuals for this video are very crude and inconsiderate. a lot of people will happen across this video when possibly worried and searching for answers, and honestly the video script seems like it's making a joke out of it. displaying autistics as a person crying all the time? depicting accidents with pools of blood and folks freaking out over seizures? it's really unhelpful
1:25 welp...
lol i had complex seizure before
I just had my 2nd one this night
I stare off into space does that mean i have epilepsy
Ketogenic diet is helpful in reducing symptoms in grownups as well. Why are you limiting it only to children?!
