The difficulties of epilepsy and why we need to help fight it.
People with epilepsy are able to live a full life, but because of the seizures they can cause physical injurys, like hitting their head when they fall when a seizure is accuring and they can get a concusion or fracturing a bone and etc. Most people who have epilepsy live a full life span but some time they ,y suffer from a SUDEP (suden unexpected death in Epilepsy) wich can happen at any time.
The cause of epilepsy
the cause of epilepsy is unkown but doctors say it is because of abnormal brian wiring, and imbalance of nerve-singaling.
How to help someone who has a seizure
Put there head on a pillow for they dont bang their head on the ground from the shaking turn them to the side have someone call 911 or get help.
