What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by frequent, unexpected seizures. These seizures result from excessive and irregular brain activity. Factors contributing to epilepsy can include genetic predisposition, brain injury, infections, or developmental issues in the brain.
Recognizing and Responding to Seizures
Seizures can vary, ranging from brief disorientation, staring episodes, to uncontrollable limb movements, and even loss of consciousness. If you witness a seizure:
1. Ensure the person’s safety.
2. Help them to lie down gently.
3. Turn them onto their side for easier breathing.
4. Keep track of the seizure duration.
5. Offer comfort and avoid restraining them.
6. If a seizure lasts over five minutes, seek immediate medical attention.
