As some one who is aware during their seizures I can not stress how big talking to someone who is seizing is. Seizures are scary, and knowing someone is there is a HUGE relief

to all those kids that suffer epilepsy. I am 35 and have had it all my life. it gets easier. never let anyone treat you differently and confront your deamons . Remember you can achieve anything and there is nothing you can't do.

Cameron Boyce's death really shook me up. I came here because I wanted more knowledge on how to handle these kinds of things.

Can we just appreciate the face of how well trained this lady is, even if it was acted out she still did extremely well.

The most important thing as a witness to a seizure is to comfort the person, reassure them that they are ok and be calm and patient as they will be confused,disorientated and scared.

This is really helpful. She tactfully put the little girl on her side and gently talked to her so she can become aware. I’ve never seen someone handle this with such ease and elegance. Really helpful

I cried when she was explaining where she was and she had a seizure cos I remember my mum saying that to me

Watching someone go through a seizure can be frightening, because they may never have seen some one going through this before, particularly on this scale. So it is important that we teach how to deal with someone that is going through this. It's just as important to be educated on what not to do as well as what to do. Where I work, they hadn't seen someone going through a seizure until I had several of varying types. Starting with absent and developing into a grand mal or tonic-clonic. I reassured them that it was nothing to be frightened of and how to deal with me and others should we be seen to be going through any form of seizure. It's amazing when you talk to people the concept of their interpretation of how person reacts when going through a grand mal or tonic-clonic. One person told me that they thought white foam filled the room once a person was fitting. They took a course in first-aid after that and began teaching after how to deal with people going through seizures. For many years it's been at a taboo subject but now finally is coming into the light. But it is thanks to those people that are prepared to film and post these events in someone's life particularly when it's a loved one of theirs. Thank you.

I was ready to cringe, but the video is spot on. She handled the simulation very well. Great training. Breaking people of putting object into their mouths and either breaking teeth or forcing the tongue back and possibly chocking them. Also the left side recovery was perfect. Loved that she timed it. I have videoed a seizure and before watching I claimed it lasted 5 min. It really was 2 min, but with a loved one time goes so slow.

This made me cry cause I have seizures and it sucks. When people see you have one, you feel out of place and want to dissapear cause you feel discusted in a way they just saw you like that. Maybe i can't speak for everyone else on this, but i bet some feel the same way. You just feel like ur in the way when your family has to set up all these appointments and stuff

I have seizures and just watching this makes me cry. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in her position

This is what happened to Cameron:( but he obviously was sleeping and he didn’t have much energy and he didn’t have anybody to help him I feel if it was in the day time or when people were around her could’ve lived😭💔

A classmate of mine had one of these during final exams. Fell off his char, lacerated his head on the concrete floor. I never even knew he had epilepsy. Thankfully we had two people with good medical training present, who took care of him. When he came around, his first worry was if he could re-take the exam. (He could. They gave him an extra date on another day.)

imagine getting an ad for this vid when some dude is literally having an epileptic attack

ONE MOMENT That was in my school gym? !?!

It’s been 10 yrs since my sister died, she had epilepsy🙏🏽😔 May we meet again Sarah ❤️ God bless and protect you wherever you are 🙌🏽❤️

This is perfect for every school!

this is the good methode to help i hope many people wil see this video so they can see how you must handle with a tonic clonic seazure

Not being offensive to this person but there is a girl in my class who has really serious seizures in class and we all have to step out the class and it's really sad because she is my best friend😥😪

This Monday, my math teacher fainted in class. When she had fainted, the principal took me and my friends into his office, and called 911. The EMT’s said she had a seizure, but she is going to be okay ❤

For me, living with epilepsy has definitely been a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs. In my videos, I discuss how to cope with your feelings, learning how to deal with the endless emotions you experience living with epilepsy. When I googled epilepsy on the Internet there were lots of videos and articles on, what epilepsy was, the symptoms of epilepsy, the medications for epilepsy, etc., but there were very few articles about coping with your negative emotions caused by epilepsy. We need to focus on the emotional aspect more.

Remember guys believe in yourselves. I have been dealing with this my whole life and am a Aerospace repairs technician. I have learnt everything myself in life from working on air craft to building my first PC and creating my own streaming channel. You got this. Just eat regular and healthy and get in a routine with your medication like clock work. Routine is a massive advantage.

I watched this video yesterday for the first time. It touched me so deeply that I cried. Every human person in this video acts perfectly like it's normal to be kind and supportive to each other. I rarely encounter such human features in my everyday life, maybe that's why I cried. Also maybe this made me rewatch the video and memorize all steps one needs to take to help and support a person having seizure. Thank you for making these instructions. You make the world a better place.

This was a great representation of how just out of the blue seizures can happen

Obviously y'all are more concerned about his death when your supposed to be concerned about what happens and how to save someone from having one

Anybody here after Cameron's death?

I had a grand mal seizure that was caused from 3 days of drinking (sober now) not sleeping and not eating. I don’t remember anything before coming to in an ambulance. My friend that witnessed it and called 911 said it was one of the more disturbing things he’s ever seen. I feel bad about it to this day. I feel for anybody that has to deal with them on a regular basis through no fault of their own.

im trying to learn more about seizures especially the tonic clonic ones because my friend recently got one and i didnt know how to react and its been killing me ever since. im sorry that you guys have to go thru this..it does look like its scary but i promise you that you will always be okay dont be scared :D

Im watching this incase i have to help rhis person at School, they had a seizure today in a lesson and I was scary not knowing what to do Edit: their sibling was there and had been trained to get her in the recovery position but I wanted to know in case their sibling wasn't their.

Thank you for sharing this. It will help a great deal of people. I suffer from epilepsy and dont frequently have them but its upsetting when people dont know what to do. One colleague at work once told me when I had a seizure that it was one of the most scariest moments in her life. Although it is true that really upset me. I've never seen a tonic clonic before but at least I know what everyone else sees when I have one. Thank you for sharing this xx

Thank you so much for this video. I watched it a few months ago and today one of my students had their first ever tonic clonic seizure with no prior history. Because I watched this video I knew exactly how to help them and my other students were able to help as well. Thank you!!!

My sister has epilepsy and I was in school with my little sister and I remember being called almost everyday to help them when she had seizures. I had to show them what to do because not everyone knows how to handle a seizure. After they learned how to they called me mainly so she was coming back to a familiar face.

I wish everyone get so calm like this when dealing with epileptic patients, me myself is patient of epilepsy too..and not everyone can handle this gently..even up until now my own family still flustered if I got into seizure. What’s more impressive is in this video, she counted with her stopwatch of how long the seizure last because it’s a vital point too, and the head tily-chin lift is (in my case) something that sometimes being overlook by the helper.

I came here because of Cameron Boyce death 😳 omg wanted to know more about this.

years to late but i have one every year for the last 22 years....had a few in schools but no one knew how to deal with it, but im glad the teacher noticed it and went to support/help the one that had the seizure out.

Thank you I'm new to epilepsy 🙏God Bless everyone who has this 🙏

Someone today had a seizure in front of me in school and it was so scary, I'm trying to learn about them.

If your a student Follow instructions Do exactly as they say Stay out of the way When it happens move away and immediatly call it to the teachers attention Comfort your friends Calm yourself down or hide it

Imma save this....there is a girl at my school that's starting to have recent seizures....I don't really know her, but at lunch last week she had a seizure and according to my friends that were there when it started the girl's friend caught her before she hit the ground....when I got there it was well taken care of...and I think the lady that was called did this thing...(I just like knowing what to do in different situations just in case no knows what to do)

I had a few seizures a couple weeks ago at school and a few people were saying I flopped like a fish and now I feel even worse the more I know what people said than how I felt when I had them....It makes me so mad and sad to know what people are saying about my seizures

My aunt has had and still does have seizures her whole life and I've never seen one in real life but it's nice to know what it looks like so I can be aware for safety reasons.

so lucky to have some awesome friends and great teacher.

This was so raw almost as if she were of my own kin. Cudos to whoever made this

Amazing what your providing. I wish this was shown in my school.

This is great coming from having epilepsy myself since I was 4 and I’m 27 now

This use to happen to me almost everyday in elementary school and every time I was so embarrassed cus people would look at me and I would instantly assume they thought I was weird but now I don’t really have them anymore bc I take medication but there has been times I’ve forgot to take it and then a seizure would come back .

That lady handled that beautifully ❤

I’ve been looking through this channel until I found a seizure that looks like what my friend gets. I’m omw to her house and she said she’s shaking so I wanna know just in case. This has been very helpful!

I have had epilepsy since I was 15 and now I m 26, still living with it. I never went through any such attacks but I do feel internal short term jerks for like 2 or maximum 5 seconds. I take my medicine regularly...

We will all pray for her 🙏🙏

Sleep in peace tio macho this brought back so many memories of seizure episodes you had and how we comforted you 🥺🙏🏼

This has early helped me because I have random seizures and these have helped me try and pin point what they can be

Good thing there was a mat under her. She would have hurt her head.

A girl in my class just had a seizure like this and she had the same thing happen, my class was playing in the schools gym and then I hear a bell go off, which was the thing to tell the nurse and others to come down, so I didn't see it but then my gym teacher is like " everyone go to the doors then leave to the cafeteria!" So I went but then looked behind and say my classmate shaking on the floor with her skin pale and eyes crossed, so I go out to the cafeteria and I hear people saying she just had a seizure, At the beginning of the year are teacher said that we have to look out for this to happen, but are other teacher told us she was ok but was going home for the day, cause after it is tiring, and so that is my storie

I have same seizure. I stare out and shake too. I started tonic clonic seizures around the age of 11 years old. Now I am 37 still having them. It can be very scary but I know first aid and CPR. I teach people around me how to recognize my seizure and how to take care of me. I just wish doctors believe me. Doctor's don't believe I have seizures. Co-worker and supervisor see me have seizures at my work. I feel the present of God with me. When seizures happen to me. Thank's to my coworker who is always calm when I have a seizures. He keeps me calm by talking to me when I have seizures.He time me when I have seizures. After I have seizures. I got tired. I go take a nap for 5 or 10 minutes. Then get water and go back to work.🙏👍🤟🇺🇲❤️😀✝️

”She shaking like a washing machine” yeah 😂😂

Think I would have asked the class to wait in the corridor or changing room. Would have spoken more softly to the girl as you don't want to frighten her.

Great acting. Well done!

Your videos and information really helped my friends to understand my seizures so thanks.

thanks so much! my sister had a seizure yesterday after i came home from school, she has an eye infection and her brain is hurt, she had like birth controls she has been taking them like crazy, and she has an eye infection because she’s putting like light in her eyes because her eyes hurt, but she’s talking, she’s in the hospital doing well, and she’s alright!

I’m 14 and got diagnosed with epilepsy last November the day before thanksgiving so November 23rd of 2021. I had grand mal seizures. I got diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 13. My birthday is May 27th 2008I had one seizure October 20th of 2021 then one November 23rd. They were both terrifying. The first one I was home with just my dad then the second one I was with my best friend and she got traumatized. They were both so scary. I also have type 1 diabetes so when I had my first seizure we thought it was because my blood sugar was low but it wasn’t. This November is one year seizure free!

This is almost the exact situation I was in when I was a senior in HS. My chorus class was practicing for a big end of the year production. Afterward, we were putting our folders away and I had a seizure right there. I hate epilepsy 😔

I like how they're so calm

Thanks a lot for this video. My senior citizen Mother has seizure issues so now I am aware of how to take care of her in such a situation, though I would feel scared whenever she suffered such attacks (3 till now in 5 years).

I had one in school recently.. I'm 15 in grade 10 high school and everyone looks at differently now but I dont let it stop me. it's scary but I can try to push through it

My mum had epilepsy and I gave nightmares about it and I don’t want my mother being hated.... One like = one respect... Thank you,

It's 11 PM and I've been watching people have seizures for no reason

I have epilepsy and I had no idea how it looked and this should be a training video at every single school

My friend had a seizure and I was the only one who realized it in that moment. All the popular kids moved away in disgust and started rumors about it🙄

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures.[10][11] Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable periods to long periods of vigorous shaking.[1] These episodes can result in physical injuries, including occasionally broken bones.[1] In epilepsy, seizures tend to recur and, as a rule, have no immediate underlying cause.[10] Isolated seizures that are provoked by a specific cause such as poisoning are not deemed to represent epilepsy.[12] People with epilepsy may be treated differently in various areas of the world and experience varying degrees of social stigma due to their condition.[1] The cause of most cases of epilepsy is unknown.[1] 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.[1][2][3] Known genetic mutations are directly linked to a small proportion of cases.[4][13] Epileptic seizures are the result of excessive and abnormal neuronal activity in the cortex of the brain.[12] 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.[4] This may be partly done by imaging the brain and performing blood tests.[4] Epilepsy can often be confirmed with an electroencephalogram (EEG), but a normal test does not rule out the condition.[4] Epilepsy that occurs as a result of other issues may be preventable.[1] Seizures are controllable with medication in about 70% of cases.[7] Inexpensive options are often available.[1] In those whose seizures do not respond to medication, surgery, neurostimulation or dietary changes may then be considered.[5][6] Not all cases of epilepsy are lifelong, and many people improve to the point that treatment is no longer needed.[1] But is its now

Everyone's here after Cameron's death, but I'm here after something happened in school, a girl [probably in 8th grade] had a seizure during lunch. I was going to throw away my tray and I just saw the medics in the cafeteria trying to make her stop, my friend thought it was a panic attack, but my other one said it was a seizure. Her little brother had the symptom when he was born. She knew it was a seizure. Afterwards they escorted us to the highschool gym [yes; my school is a junior high - highschool] We honestly hope the girl is okay. Same with my friends brother. Also, rip Cameron, he was a big star, I didn't even know he died!

My friend had a grandma so I'm watching so I can help if no one else will

This happened to one of my primary friends and in secondary school she doesn't go to my secondary school but I heard she had a seizure on her first day

Excellent simulation

I so sorry about that can happen to people also thankyou for help her out

I've been tonic-clonic since I was 8 and over the course of time, have accepted it as a part of my human essence. (I'm 33 now even though I agree with many fellow epileptics that epilepsy will always be a misunderstood condition.)

I have this and one time when I was 10 I dropped on the floor out of no where still as a statue,not blinking or breathing.Usually when I have seizures I have to be rushed to the hospital or take pills because it could last for 2 hours for me.

If only someone helped Cameron 😢. RIP Cameron

The most important thing we do during my son's seizures is rub his back, arms, legs and tell him we are there with him while he is seizing. Have done it since he was tiny. It gives us something to do and helps keep us calm, and if we are in public keeps them calm too.

I have epilepsy and I found out two years ago after having my first full seizure but I usually only have absence ones and I have to medication morning and night and i think everyone should learn how to treat a seizure just in case someone has one

I feel like I’m the only person who didn’t come after Cameron’s death. I came after I actually had a seizure in school.

There was that one student that had a seizure in the school.. I got scared! I almost cried I never seen someone having a seizure in my life

What a nice teacher!!!

This has happened to me before and was the scariest moment of my life

directory submission for a few months ago I have a good idea of what we have a nice day ahead and not know how to use

I just have stress seizures.

My aunt just had epilepsy today, thank god.. I really need this

One important thing to add though- In this clip the seizure happened in a gymnasium which is indeed a large space with no obstacles, but if it occurs in class for example, you have to move all tables and chairs away from the victim QUICK. Because, during the seizures, the convulsions can be of such force that the victim can get seriously injured, like fracturing an arm or a leg, if he/she hits something hard. A classmate of mine had two seizures in class during the same year in middle school, luckily in both cases, he escaped additional injuries, but had to be stretchered off to the hospital by EMTs because the seizure knocked him unconscious. :(

it sucks having seizures I've had them since I was for months old do to a stroke I had left me paralyzed on the right side of my body and have a limp when I walk and a lazy eye. people make fun of me all the time a blood vessel burst in my brain and caused me to have Brain damage doctor said I will never grow out of them I take to medicines for them.

A boy had a seizure during maths class. I was so worried about him and I was so scared!!😭

This made me cry

My classmate Devonte' had seizures since freshmen year and that really scared me. When he had a seizure for the third time in English class of sophomore year last year, I was a lot scared and got a heart heat. Even the teacher panicked. Devonte' eventually passed out like his previous seizures and also drools on the right and collapses on the same side when he have seizures. The teacher called the office by pushing the call button on the classroom wall, tell the office staff to send a nurse to the classroom and the nurse eventually arrived along with a assistant principal. They both monitored Devonte' until if he is able to wake up. The assistant principal told me during my lunch time that Devonte' eventually woke up and got sent home by his mom after I started a discussion with him about Devonte' situation of his seizure. This happened on Day of the Dead and a pep rally day. That event traumatized me that I was scared that Devonte' would have another seizure for the fourth time.

Im here becaise of cameron boyces dearh its so sad that this happens to people I wish cameron would come back i miss him so much he was such an amazing person and my first celebrity crush but most importantly he was so young he didnt deserve to go it was too soon I miss and love you CAM! Stay safe up there💘❤

I had a seizure in school and was in hospital for 2 weeks and I was embarrassed to go back to school

great presentation really realistic I actually believed it

Thanks God I don't have epilepsy anymore. Its a very bad experience .

Rip cameron that was caused by this condition

Who is here after Cameron death ?😭💔

Hope some of my friends watch these, recently i was diagnosed with seizure symptons..

this looks like this was filmed in my school, and im taking note of this.
