What Really Causes Epilepsy? 

as an epileptic myself, the flashing in the video gave me a seizure. thanks.

Thank you for explaining to me what was going on during my epileptic seizures. I’ve always wondered how they worked and why I was having these problems.

That was an amazing video explanation! Although I knew my adult daughter has seizures we are trying to control with medication I had never seen her have one. Tonight while we were on FaceTime she had one. I was driving and pulled over to reassure her. She was home alone. It didn’t last long but was very scary to watch and feel helpless. She had a brain tumor removed 8 yrs ago. They are thinking the scar tissue may have something to do with the seizures. We have more doctor appointments coming up soon. I would hope we can get more education out there. It worries me that she would be alone in public and someone would think she was a drug addict seizing due to the prevalence of that culture in our town. She is so embarrassed after having one on the job that she took leave from work.

I was a child with epilepsy. I have since grown out of them but now my grandchildren may be experiencing it and this video is helping me understanding more

I have test about epilepsy tomorrow and this is really helping Really easy to understand short, dense and clear, and also interesting, love the animation Thanksssss

The best epileptic video i hve ever seen. The concept was so clearly explained. Now i am never gonna forget this. Thank you so much.

Ok guys as a person with epilepsy I’ll tell you in simple term the brain fires a small shock to your body in order to do anything in you life a seizure is when the shocks get to big and takes control of you body also please please DO NOT TURN US INTO THE RECOVERY POSITION THIS CAN CAUSE US TO GET HURT AND potentially bite our toung I’ve had epilepsy since I was three and I have tonic clonic seizures when you have those people can’t move the persons body you cause all the muscles in you body are tensed up best thing to due is clear the area of potential dangers and once we are done seizing then put us in the recovery position. I’ve had to to deal with seizures all my life trust me not all these “facts” are true if we are seizing lay us flat if we aren’t and put something soft under our neck and head.

Thank you for sharing this info. I've had epilepsy for 51 yrs. and this is the best explanation I have ever heard. I have also learned that getting a DNA test done will help a person find the best seizure med with the least side effects or the test will show if a person is drug resistant like me. I had surgery done to reduce my seizures but what has worked the best is the medical marijuana. My seizures have decreased to the lowest point in my life.

This makes me a little bitter. My overall seizure experience was very harmful and traumatic. The doctors blamed me for taking drugs, which I had not taken any. The medicine they gave me made me sick, in which I had no help or treatment for. Finally, when the first seizure started, my school did not take care of me properly. I don’t remember, but I knew I didn’t trust my surroundings to keep me safe.

Being epileptic myself, I really appreciated this video. Simple, practic, objective, short, and most important, very informative in the form and content. Thank you so much!

As someone with epilepsy this is one of the best videos I’ve seen so thank you.

This is really helpful for my project, I feel like I’m a medical student. That’s my dream

Thanks so much for producing this video and raising #EpilepsyAwareness!

PLEASE PUT A WARNING TITLE AT BEGINNING OF VIDEO ‘CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS’ THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! thanks for the great info

Thankyou. I'm in a server on discord where the owner has epilepsy. I'm trying to understand her more. She's one of the best people in the world that I know.

a Sophia • Os ago The lord healed me last month of epilepsy, a condition I've been dealing with for 36 year's that I was Muslim. After my conversion to christianity, I've never been happier. Jesus stands for and represents love and compassion. God is the greatest! Hallelujah I'm thankful for everything the lord has done for me

My third seizure which I experienced 2 and half years ago on January 12, 2020, was so frightening because I was conscious through the first half of it. That's horrible feeling I will never forget.

Wow!As an epileptic person I really wanted to learn more about it and because of this video I learnd so much more than usual.Thank you❤

My seizures got so bad and frequent that I underwent temporal lobe lobectomy in 2001. I am currently off my medications and I have a few seizures per year versus a few every week.

I appreciate the info. I've been struggling from seizures for three years now and was recently diagnosed. But I did not understand them very well. This helped a lot. Also, I might be having absence seizures. The video explained exactly the way I freeze out of nowhere. My mom calls it "staring into space". But this may be vital.

thank you for explaining this! i have a best friend with epilepsy, now i know how it works

this really help me to understand fully about epilepsy !!!!

God Bless the people who put out this information makes things so much easier for people dealing with epilepsy and or their families. This breaks down the main problem into a simple explanation which is needed a lot more than people think. Hard for a person who has never heard a dealt with this and all of a sudden it's one of the biggest problems of their lives information like this really does help.. prayers out to the families and victims dealing with epilepsy and thank you for the help and support of the ones putting in time and effort for treatmenticures. God bless you all.

High humidity and low atmospheric pressure is the reason why people get seizures! I found out because my previous seizure was during when the hurricane and I googled it and found out. That's why places with high humidity such as The UK and Pakistan have the highest percentage of Epileptics.

I'm a medical student very helpful to me understand this concept clearly❤

I suffer from this disability I have to rely on support workers just to manage in life people don’t realize how much this disability can cause too someone’s life it’s pretty disgusting how people are so selfish and ignorant towards people who find it hard to survive in their lives

THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO!!! thank you for this!! can you explore epileptic aphasia??

I see a lot of people saying that the flashing off the video could cause them a seizure. I'm epileptic but have a different kind. The flashing wouldn't cause me to have one. I have mine right as I wake up or when I'm really tired, something to do with sleep. We don't know why but we have them under control "somewhat" thank God. Seizures suck and I feel bad for others too

Thank you for given me my epilepsy video and condition into my brain

This is very informative. Thank you.

Thanks for your sharing this very informative video. 👍

Excellent, thank you so much

This is so fucking scary. I am so glad I don’t have this. And feel sorry for those who do. Hope you get better if you got it.

I just recently got diagnosed with epilepsy at 23 this year, well just about a week ago. I had my first seizure January of this year, then my second this month. I had three seizures first one again like always started in the morning. But the difference is this time I kept having seizures, the hospital ended up sedating me after my third one because I wouldn’t have stopped having them. But I was put on anti-seizure meds and have now been adjusting to the changes not even mentally. But physically. It’s scaring knowing at any point I could seize up and it’s even worse that they do not know what is causing it. Sadly I’m afraid I may have always had signs because there were abnormal things I had endured since childhood that have surprisingly occurred more intensely right before my seizures. I never ever thought I’d ever have seizures. But here I am now having to learn about them because I am now epileptic

Thank you. Many diagnoses but then ignored. Blame me for anxiety, bull shut.

Very informative video! I personally would cover the importance of protecting the person's head. My doctor's best guess was I randomly developed epilepsy from previous sports related concussions.

Thank you so much!

This really helpful thankyou ☺️

As an epileptic...a teenage epileptic, I understood what it really looks like in the head. Unfortunately, my medications have recently failed me. I hope it will be fine. Thank you for the interesting video Which helps deepen knowledge about epilepsy

My maternal uncle 's neighbor is Epileptic, there was the point when I got to know this!. Bruhh. When I see someone having Epilepsy, it increases my heartbeat and ai am panicked! Thankx for the info!

Nice video nice explanation .. good work thanks 😊

Perfect video with all the information.. 💯🤘

Thank you sir ❤❤❤I,m very thankful ❤❤

Thanks Sir.

Times used to be very Challenging,i had the worst days of my life living with Epilepsy,i appreciate you so much Dr Okubi,You have restored me my life that was lost already,All the pains are gone.

Ok, I get it now why my brother had a fricking 2 min seizure and fainted. Thanks for this

Wow, it's like some light as a feather stiff as a board type thing. The craft

Thank u for this video!😘

Thanks so much

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ❤️

I can’t believe people choose thumbs down, this video is informative and helpful , good job , thank you 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

High humidity and low atmospheric pressure is the reason why people get seizures! I found out because my previous seizure was during when the hurricane and I googled it and found out. Ever since I've kept track of humidity and atmospheric pressure my amount of seizures has decreased. Get a dehumidifier and try it out. Sensitivity towards high humidity and low atmospheric pressure cause it. Thats why countries with high humidity such as UK and Pakistan have the highest amount of Epilepsy.

Really, It's a wonderful illustration 🌺🌺

Спасибо 👍🏻

i really like this video , the topic is very well explained under 5 minutes

One of them is cameron boyce RIP we still remember him😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😫😔😔😔

I had the absence seizures when I was younger but didn’t know at the time then I started having grand mal seizures from when I was 14 I was always explained that this is what epilepsy is like I think it’s a great way to break it down to people so they understand

Thank you

Thank you for explaining this, I got epilepsy when I was 2 years old then it left me. Then when I turned 19 years old it came back. I do have a video explaining

I know what it like,Ive also had epilepsy most of my life,The times I wake up after having a seizure,Feel very "tired",Have to lay down for a few hours have a few windows open and let some cool air in,After a few hours later,Start feeling back to normal,Not had no seizure's for about 8 years ago,Ive also lost a few other friends in the past as well,They also had Epilepsy really bad,I did have worse when I was a child,Never knew my mate Holly suffered with seizure's,Another 1 gone to Heaven,Cant even beleive it 😥😥😢😭

I used to have grand mask seizures starting at age 4 I stopped having seizures at age 7 I had to take medication until I was 11 they would happen to the point I couldn’t sleep alone bc I would have them in my sleep glad to say I no longer have seizures

Also be sure that they can breathe and that there is nothing tightly around their throat.

I’m an epileptic and I’m struggling with it since i was in grade 2 and now I’m 28, and I have many types of seizures walking while I’m blanked stealing a ball while I’m blanked shaking my head and my eyes pointing above but not unconscious sometimes I control it..... hope that you sir can explain it

I have all 3 of these all the time and they suck. The seizure isn’t even the worst part- it’s the affects and I juries that come with it.

Great video. I am epileptic and never knew about all these information. Thank you very much!!!! I have petit mal (absence) and want to know if l can take NAC??? Thanks!!!

I have a few videos of my seizures and explaining how it feels etc anyone going through this just know you’re not alone 💜💜

Your accent made me watch this video till the end ❤😊

I believe u r Egyptian!! Great video! BTW thank u.

I know what causes it but this is a good video. I almost had a seizure yesterday (Xmas Day) first time in a while they had been well controlled (I have generalised idiopathic epilepsy and have myoclonic and tonic/clinic grand mal seizures) my sister is a paramedic and she was here I got the warning signs (muscle spasms and aura) and she walked me to my bed where I lay and breathed in and out and luckily it didn't progress to a full grand mal. It's so scary though the feeling of being helpless and it feels like you're body is getting shocks and takes your breath away.

I got an astrocytoma in my right frontal upper lobe, and it caused epilepsy. They continued to proceed to give me 7 resections. Every time they thought the astrocytoma was out, it grew back quick. Tumor cells are ridiculously small, but they grow back at such a rapid rate, so they kept opening my head in the same spot for more resections, but the tumor kept coming back, and then I got a lobectomy and that was that. That's how my epilepsy happened.

I have an immunity disorder. And when I get near people with epilepsy it really makes my disorder complicated. I was even in a group therapy with some one I'd never met and she couldn't stop moving. I knew some how we were bonding and I hated it.

I have also epilepsy . I want to cure myself properly . I am a suffer as an epileptic patient of more than 5 years I cannot do anything I have to take medicines what a day I have faced . I always prayed god 🙏 to cure my these epilepsy diseases...

Smh I need to see a doctor ASAP I had two seizures last summer 2 months apart and that was that, it's scary. Makes you feel really really sleepy messes with your memory it's bad seizures really suck

As someone with epilepsy, your video visuals gave me a migraine. Definitely might want to consider less flashing in your videos, especially talking about epilepsy and seizures. 🙂

Helpful, thanks

I have been in hospital numerous times from clonic tonic seizures and absence seizures

My sister has epilepsy, she is behaving strange sometimes and often gets angry for minor things

Tq

Thank you very short and informative, your accent sound Lebanese I'm also from Lebanon.

I have the RNS device and can now drive my car again. I will also be starting college again soon.

I have epilepsy and sometimes I don't even know I had one

I had epilepsy since i was 5 years old nearly dying all the time but my seizures weren't that deadly 😅

I have seizures not epilepsy. I have a unknown nuerological condition that causes my seizures. I've been to specialist to diagnose me and they can't figure out what I have so they call it unknown. I've had grand mal seizures when I was younger and not so much as I grew up. Now I have local seizures where I am awake but I can't control my body. Most of the time I have slurd speech and blurry vision before a seizure. No medication has ever stopped my seizures. I even stayed in the hospital for two weeks to get tests and different treatments but they let me go home and taught me how to meditate and breathe. They tried several times. Sometimes I forget to breathe and I end up having a seizure too. 🤷 My pain specialist and nuerologist work together to help me. I have three very rare conditions. I also am autistic. I think the autism causes me stress and anxiety that causes the seizures. I also have trouble swallowing and chewing. I was also diagnosed with body dysmorphia when I was thirteen. When I was younger I was put on a feeding tube several times because of my nuerological condition. I am 40 years old and my doctor's still say I have complex and complected health conditions. I even have a very rare autoimmune disorder caused by a rare movement disorder called Tinson Dystonia. My health is complicated. It's almost killed me over 50 times in my whole life. Infections are very hard to get rid of even with antibiotics. I have a deep brain stimulator implanted but I still have seizures because it's not used for seizures. My deep brain stimulator implant is for Dystonia.

Thank you for sharing this video,. I have been having these attacks and didn't know what they were,. Until I was at my Dr getting neck injections because of an old car accident,. Well after the injections i was unbalanced couldn't stand on my own,. So they sat me there and i felt like I was out of my body. Then i got that hot Rush through my body and had a seizure. Not as bad as this video but close. I have that mouth pulling and eye twitching , and arm and leg twitching The nurse there was the only one who knew what was going on with me. Thank God. So now I know.

[Action required] point of break off with you and all connected persons.

Whenever I go to bed at night, I always sleep in recovery position, but I'm side sleeper anyways so that helps.

Does anyone just have seizures while sleeping? Would love to to talk with someone who has the same as me

I have epilepsy myself when i wake up i dont remember anything from what happened after. They always tell me i had a seizure and i told them no i didn't until somebody else told me what happened and how i always get those bruises on my face.

Epilepsy almost like having to much electric building up in the brain,Now wonder why I also have one hell of BANGING headache as well every time I had any seizures that other times with out hitting my head on the ground

I have had sm thin xalled fits, its similar to epilepsy but we dont have many problems such has this, also fits goes on in the family

They still have no idea what causes mine.. but if I don't have my meds I have have them like crazy.

Nice
