Epilepsy

An epileptic seizure at age 13.

Yes

People with uncontrolled epilepsy are not allowed to drive. However, if your epilepsy has been controlled for a certain period of time (where I live, 3 years) then you will be legally allowed to drive again. I have been unable to drive for 3 years now.

YES, people with epilepsy can get a license to drive. A signed document from your doctor and your seizure activity are major factors here. You also need to check with the DMV in your state. All states are different. I am in Missouri and you must go at least 6 months with out a seizure also. Yes, you can drive. I have epilepsy and I drive!!!!!!!

In the United Kingdom, epileptics are also permitted to drive if they have been siezure free for three years for a car. The number of years you need to be siezure free increases dependent on the size of vehicle driven and the purpose it is used for.

Edit: *** People that uncontrolled can't drive, but if your seizures have been controlled by a certain period of time (where I live, 1 year) than you can drive again. I have seizures and I havn't been able to drive for 3 years.***

People are not "hired under" the ADA. The ADA merely prohibits discrimination by employers against covered individuals and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for covered employees.

A covered individual can be fired as long as the employer's action did not discriminate against the employee on the basis of his or her disability. For example, any employee, covered or not, can be terminated for cause.

No, aphrodisiacs do not trigger epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that involves recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Aphrodisiacs are substances that are thought to increase sexual desire, and there is no scientific evidence to suggest a connection between them and epilepsy.

Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, but aphrodisiacs do not affect the electrical activity of the brain. While some people may claim that certain products can act as aphrodisiacs, there is no scientific evidence to support this. Many of the products that are marketed as aphrodisiacs have not been proven to actually increase sexual desire.

There are some substances that can potentially trigger seizures, such as alcohol and certain drugs, but these substances are not considered aphrodisiacs. Additionally, some people with epilepsy may experience certain triggers, such as flashing lights or stress, that can cause a seizure, but aphrodisiacs do not fall into this category.

Overall, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that aphrodisiacs can trigger epilepsy. People with epilepsy should talk to their doctor about potential triggers and how to manage them.

Balanced diet and proper sleep patterns reduces seizures. Food that is rich in 1) carbohydrates such as potato and pasta, 2) fats such as oil, nuts and seeds, 3) proteins such as milk, cheese, meat, fish, lentils and eggs and 4) vegetables and fruits, protects and reduces damages caused by seizures. However, fats like trans fat and hydrogenated fats like cakes, deep fried foods, etc., high sugar drinks and food, chips, non-wholegrain cereal, white bread, etc. trigger a seizure.

Pershing believed his troops were superior.

Not necessarily, but that question can't really be answered without details of the patient, the nature and cause of their epilepsy and if they have any other health problems. Epilepsy is a physical condition, whereas mood swings would be more associated with psychological problems. The only real sign of epilepsy is having seizures.

About 1 in every 200 people has epilepsy. So based on a world population of about 7 billion people, that would be about 35 million.

Epilepsy and Athesma.

yes

Seizures are extremely rarely fatal. People are more likely to die from another cause, such as falling from a high place when having a seizure. The most serious kind of seizure is a Grand Mal, and if a seizure itself is going to kill someone, it would have to be an extremely serious Grand Mal seizure. However the vast majority of Grand Mal seizures are not serious enough to cause serious damage, so people would not regard them as being a risk of death.

by law a person who has epilepsy is handipped and can get a handicapped sticker for there car

For everyone it is different. Some people get worse while some people stop having seizures altogether. Epilepsy comes in so many forms, with many different causes and many levels of severity, that the prognosis is different for everyone, even for people with the same types.

No President signed it. President Woodrow Wilson was overode by the congress so basically the congress wrote it

There is a good chance of that happening, but it is too small for it to be a very large problem.

There are lots of stereotypes about epilepsy that create stigmas and fear. Epilepsy only affects someone when they are actually having a seizure so at all other times they are the same as anyone else. Some people think that people with epilepsy are less intelligent or mentally ill. Epilepsy is a physical condition, not a mental one, so people with epilepsy have normal intellectual ability. Some people think it is a contagious disease, which it isn't. You cannot catch epilepsy from someone.

Some people think that flashing lights cause seizures although that is only the case for about 3% to 5% of all of the people that have epilepsy. For all others, flashing lights have no affect on them and do not trigger their seizures. People think people with epilepsy can have the danger of swallowing their tongue during a seizure. It is actually impossible for anyone to swallow their tongue, so someone having a seizure cannot do so. So you should never put something in someone's mouth when they are having a seizure to try to prevent them from doing so. You could actually do some damage, by injuring their mouth. If they suddenly closed their mouth and bit on the item in it they could injure themselves or maybe break a tooth.

If you know someone who has epilepsy you will know that they are no different to anyone else, except when they are having a seizure. People with epilepsy can go for days, weeks, months or years without having a seizure. A normal seizure only lasts a few minutes and people can recover very quickly after having one, depending on how serious it is. So the vast majority of the time they live perfectly normal lives.

As epilepsy is such a disease it needs more then one to do the job, and they have to be asedative. Like Carmpazine and Valparin alkalite, or Garoin and Dylantin. For quicker and sucessful relief for the patient.

First of all, Epilepsy is not a disease, it is a condition. Second of all, some people do just fine with only one set of seizure medications. Some people, with more severe or uncontrolled epilepsy, need more. I take three different types of medication because I have refractory epilepsy and it is not controlled by medication.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that disturbs the electrical functioning of the brain. It results in altered consciousness and seizures. The most common symptom of epilepsy is repeated seizures, the nature of which varies from one type of epilepsy to the other. As different people have different triggers, what changes may need to be made will differ from person to person. Lifestyle changes will not treat epilepsy as such, but will help people to have less seizures.

Well it would depend on if they are temporarily hysterical or if this is a lasting condition. The next question to ask yourself is, "Is this person potenitally harmful to themselves or those around them?" Next if the answer to the last question is yes, contact local law enforcement and have them committed for a 72 hour psyche ward for evalutation...let the professionals handle it.

In most cases the answer is no. However, a person can have a very mild seizure, which they are aware of and so they are aware of their surroundings. The seizure would not even be noticeable to anyone else.

because ALL anti-psychotics may decrease seizure threshold (especially with Chlorpromazine and Clozapine)

Yes.
