Seizure

It’s World

is one of the most common neurological disorders that anyone can develop it at any age.
It’s treatable and not contagious.

Although many underlying disease mechanisms can lead to epilepsy, the cause of the disease is still unknown in about 50% of cases globally. Its causes may include:

🟣Brain damage or trauma during birth
🟣Genetic syndromes and conditions
🟣Brain infection or tumour
🟣Severe head injury
🟣Stroke

People with epilepsy experience seizure episodes which result from excessive electrical discharges in a group of brain cells. Seizures vary in their type, duration, severity and frequency depending on where in the brain the disturbance first starts, and how far it spreads. Its symptoms include:

🟣Loss/Change in awareness or consciousness
🟣Changes to sensations (vision, hearing and taste)
🟣Incontinence, tongue bite or injury
🟣Unexplained confusion, sleepiness or weakness
🟣Sudden uncontrolled movements of an arm, leg or the whole body

To help a person having a seizure:
✅Lay the person down, on their side, head turned to help breathing
✅Ensure the person is breathing properly – loosen clothing around the neck
✅Place something soft under the head
✅Stay with the person until the seizure stops and they wake up
✅Don’t restrain the person or put anything in their mouth
