Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal electrical signaling in the brain, not a mental illness or psychiatric condition. It is not contagious and cannot be transmitted through contact, food, or fluids. Common myths include the belief that epilepsy is a mental illness, that people with epilepsy are possessed or cursed, and that they cannot live normal lives. In reality, people with epilepsy can attend school, work, marry, and participate in sports. Seizures can be triggered by stress, sleep deprivation, alcohol, and missed medications, but epilepsy itself is not caused by these factors. Treatment involves medications that reduce seizures, and while some people may outgrow epilepsy, others require long-term management. Emergency response during seizures includes positioning the person on their side in the recovery position, timing the seizure, and calling emergency services if it lasts more than 5 minutes.

Uh the myth is epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal electricity in the brain.
Some people with epilepsy may not also experience a depression but epilepsy itself is not a psychiatric illness.
Let's get to uh the other thing.
That one is very fun.
Is epilepsy a neurological uh development disorder?
Means is epilepsy a neurological disorder like uh autism? Yeah, someone may ask is epilepsy and autism. You know epilepsy is a physical uh uh condition that attacks someone. H let me see this. Okay. Welcome welcome if you are watching uh you know we have been talking about epilepsy and we are we are dealing with some questions that are always asked about epilepsy.
So epilepsy you know is a neurological disorder meaning it affects brain and nervous system that is not a mean that is a true thing uh it is not mental illness mental illness it is not a psychiatric illness mental illness is a psychiatric illness is an illness that affects the the cognitive function. But this one is a neuro logic disorder that your brain has some problems in abnormal electric signaling. Abnormal electric signaling.
This is about epilepsy. So don't tell anyone one day that epilepsy is a mental illness. Epilepsy is not a mental illness.
Epilepsy is not a mental illness. It is a neurologic disorder. Neurologic when we talk about neuro, we are talking about the brain and the nervous system.
The brain and the nervous system you check it. Check on that. Now there are some things that we need. And if you have heard about any myths any myth I know there are several myths in the there are so many myths in in in the society concerning epilepsy. That is what we want to talk about. You want to to talk about things that people talk about and they are not true. Things that people talk about and you yourself are not true because when you do some talks about epilepsy, some talks about um uh let me check out this.
Yes, that one. When when you you you go to talk about some uh some some things in epilepsy, people tell you things that even don't add up, some issues that even don't add up until you start laughing for yourself. Now, you know, epilepsy is a is a is a neurologic problem. physical when you're talking about neurologic problem. We talking about physical problem that is affecting the brain. Not a psychiatric, not a cognitive. Cognitive affects how a a person thinks, feels and behaves. How a person feels, thinks and behaves. That is cognitive functions. Cognitive functions. But now epilepsy is a physical problem. This is a problem that affects the brain electric function of the brain. So the let's get out of the meth. The myth now and how B faction and B faction about epilepsy. Welcome my guys. I can see you are coming in coming in and you are not telling us where you are from. If you are coming in right now, please come to the chat. Tell us where you are watching from. Tell us where you are watching this from.

Go to the chat and click. go to the chat and click so that you can we can interact and get to know how things happen when a person has epilepsy. When a person have epilepsy now people with epilepsy are cast. No, this is an old cultural myth. Epilepsy is a medical condition scientific scientifically caused. It is posing such as brain injury, genetic factors, stroke, infections, tumors, fever related seizures in in children.
Fever related in children. You see it is not caused by a spirit witchcraft or gases. We understand that when we started talking about soi did Jack is a drunk soi where which country are you coming from? Are you from India?
So you feel I feel like you are coming from India or which which state are you coming from? Welcome to the chat al I I I don't understand that I understand English and uh maybe yes those two may maybe a little of French. Yeah. So welcome to the chat everyone if you are watching let's talk about uh what is called let's talk about epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a neuro genetic disorder that people have really that people have really Yeah. Okay. I'm seeing I'm seeing I'm reading some text that are popping out that really people have really confused.
So if you are here and you are a new person, hit the like button like like let's talk about epilepsy. Come to the chat. Let's talk about uh epilepsy and several things that affect some people.
Now that one is an old thing. We have seen that epilepsy is brought by brain injury, genetic factors, stroke, infections, tumors, fever related seizures in children can can destroy your brain until you start having epileptic episodes. Epileptic episode.
So if you have a question and you are here, if you have a question about epilepsy, don't fail to answer my friends uh to ask my friends. Come on, ask ask that question. Let's interact.
You see, let's interact. Ask those questions and let's interact. Now you should put a spoon or wallet on the or object on the mouth during a Caesar.
When a person is having a seizure, some people may say that put something on the mouth so that this person cannot bite the tongue. It is very dangerous, my friends. And when we talked about it, you saw it is very dangerous to put a stick or something in the mouth when someone is having a seizure. It is dangerous. And that why is it dangerous?
It can break a tooth, block breathing, cause choking, injure the jaw. And when you injure the jaw, you know, when the convulsions are too high, you can you can break even your jaw. That is another traumatic event that's happening. So, uh a person cannot swallow their tongue.
There is a lady who came to a hospital and with and the person that she brought was convulsing and this lady was so worried that ah doc you know he can this he can swallow the tongue let let's put something so that this person cannot swallow the tongue and we were like explaining to this person that it is dangerous to put something was so uh hard but we took the person to manage emergency place and we manage until the scissors are down. So a person cannot swallow a tongue when he's having an epileptic condition. So don't put anything on the don't put anything on the tongue on the mouth to avoid this person from convulsions.
That is a myth and we don't want to deal with myths. We don't want to deal with meat. Epilepsy is contagious.
Imagine someone saying epilepsy is contagious. Contagious meaning if you eat food that have if you share food with an epileptic person, this person can can pass it like if you touch or you interact with a person who has epilepsy exchange fluids, you can have epilepsy. Who said so? Ah, no. Epilepsy is not contagious.
Touching, sharing food, saliva, bleeding together. Ah, no. Epilepsy is not contagious and will never be contagious.
Interact with those people. It's a neuro development disorder from the brain releasing abnormal electric effect on the brain. Releasing abnormal electric effects on the brain. So interact with these people, be friendly with them. Uh h encourage them to be taking their medication. You see, greetings. Ila, I see you. I see you girl. I see you girl.
You know you call yourself girls. I see you girl. I have my friend the ladies that say we are going h girls we are going for for girls we are going for lunch. And when Yeah. Yeah. I had to reduce.
Wow. Shamed.
Sh told me I look good when I'm shaved.
So everyone is telling me that thing.
Hey dog. Today you are really shaved.
People are used to me with with are used to me with big beards.
Yes. Welcome Leila. We are talking about questions about questions concerning epilepsy.
Questions concerning epilepsy and I've read somewhere that I'm talking about a question that I was sent about epilepsy being contagious. You know contagious means you can pass it through food, through kissing, through saliva, exchanging fluids. No, it is not. It is a neurode development disorder. A neurode development disorder is a disorder. I lost a classmate this year about epilepsy. Yes, epilepsy you can if they are that is very important. You know the the alila it is called neurode development disorder electric production that are causing your brain to to to work in a way that it's not needed producing complicated signals that are not well.
So if you have epileptic convulsions that are toniconic and hard they can injure your brain and if they injure your brain because they are electric convulsions that are coming so fast and what you can you can die because when your brain dies you know you don't you you you have a problem now that cannot be sorted. So it depends and those people that fall on clonic atonic scars atonic means the muscles have no the muscles lose lose strength.
You can hit your head somewhere and then when you hit your head you have a problem brain injury. Brain injury kills people. That's why even the convulsions can damage your brain. So let's continue. Your epilepsy is contagious.
No, it's not contagious. That one we have said it is not contagious. Let talk about all sizes involves shaking.
Even right now the topic that we are talking about is called absent Caesar typical and a typical two types typical and a typical. Some scissors are sub to a person may stare blankly, sudden stop talking, smack lips, become confused briefly. So don't expect every person who has epilepsy or seizures to converse the normal way people convulse, they fall down. No, this person may be having something that is called blank scissors. Blank scissors is whereby you're just there looking at someone like this staring at someone like tend to like the typical and the typical you know typical is a short moment of passing out but you are just looking at someone and then when you come back you start asking people why are you looking at me like that they tell you you are sleepw walking or you are daydreaming. It is an episode of epilepsy. You see uh that is so let's get to know that not all types of ep of epilepsy someone has seizures.
No not all types of epilepsy is that someone has seizures. Uh let's talk about people with epilepsy cannot live normal lives. Why? Why do you say so?
They go to school they live normal lives. That is a myth. That is a myth.
People with epilepsy live normal life.
They go to school. They do work. They marry. They they come up with children that are living good life. So let's not talk about these myths. You know these are Hi guys, Betty in the house. Welcome Betty. We're talking about epilepsy and myths about epilepsy. These are people that play sports, become doctors, teach others at least normal life. you know they live normal lives they live normal lives so epilepsy a person is not different from the others it's just a condition of the brain that is is having him an attack at a specific moment but everything the cognitive function the how you behave character and interaction is there it does not affect cognitive functions you know cognitive functions are affect how you behave how you talk how you interact act. Yes. So, check out my guys when you're coming in. I see people coming in. Ask your questions about epilepsy.
Interact with me. Hit the like button and if you are new, always subscribe to the to the channel. Now, let's talk about something that is called something that is called epilepsy and period. Epilepsy and period.
People may say that epilepsy always lasts forever. If you have it, you'll never get healed. No, it is a brain neurological disorder of electrical function. So as you grow, you can overgrow it. Some children have grown bigger on medication and at the age of 12, 13, 14 going to 20, they have outgrown it. H and some people have become scissor free without epilepsy itself without the epilepsy itself. You see, so epilepsy is not you cannot some people have outgrown it. So if someone is having epilepsy, don't say that they will continue having it forever. No, they will not.
You should hold a person down during a when someone starts to have to say, the ones that are aggressive, some people holds that person down, forcing this person to be calm. No, leave that person. Let you can position that person to be in recovery position.
I I explained about uh recovery position at one time. Pew pew said, "Hi, Pew Pew6767.
Welcome Pew Pew. Which state are you coming from?" Pew pew. I see it's like, "Are you new in here?" Pew pew. Let me see. Pew pew. Pew pew. Welcome, welcome to the channel. If you have, we talk about medical conditions here. Pew pew.
So, u which country are you coming from?
Subscribe to the channel. Let's talk about medical issues. So, welcome, welcome to the chat and let's get to know you. If you are a new person, please don't forget to subscribe. You will be getting some notifications when a new video is out or when po What does that mean? Pew pew. Oh, pew pew. These are names from Philippines.
Pew pew may be from Pew Pew may be from Philippines or what?
I see a a picture of a Philippine guy.
Okay, let's continue. Let's continue now.
Uh let's talk about uh the the the effects of pushing someone down. You may injure this person. What? Dr. B. Good evening in Kenya, right? Yes, it is 1000 p.m.
right now. Savior man, welcome to the chat. Savior man, welcome to the chat.
Welcome to the chat. I was explaining one day about how to place someone on recovery position. Uh do doctor what is the topic? Oh it is about epilepsy and several questions that are asked. So I'm answering several questions like the ones that we have said epilepsy is a mental illness. You have said no epilepsy is not a mental illness. It's a neuro neuro development disorder. Mental illness are those that affect how you think, your thoughts, your character, you know. But this one is a problem of neurode development. It is different from the others.
Though we are just answering what is epilepsy? Epilepsy is seizures, convulsions, recurrent seizures and convulsions that attack a person. Uh when this person has abnormal electric production from the brain, it may be focal or generalized. Focal meaning from a point specific point or generalize from both ends of mostly temporal this side and this side that is epilepsy save your mind never had someone who has epilepsy in your life you have never seen someone who has epilepsy several people have epilepsy in Kenya we call it kafa kafa I don't know I don't know savior man I don't know how you call epilepsy in your language It is dangerous. It is dangerous because you have seen Leila Ali has said she lost a friend due to epilepsy. Maybe the convulsions were so hard and they damaged the brain.
So you should turn a person down during Caesars. Turn them on the side after jacking stops. Time the Caesar. If you turn them on the side, always turn them on the left side on the recovery position.
What causes that? That one is a neurode development. It is like the one that we were talking about autism.
Someone is born with a brain that rejects abnormal electric signals from the brain. Uh people with epilepsy are less intelligent. That is a question that I have I've got from no cognitive function effect depends on the cause frequent and affected brain area. So there are some people who have epilepsy cooking with chemia is here. What caused that? That one I've answered man. Now there are some people who are born with epilepsy and they are bright. So epilepsy do not determine intelligence.
The cognitive effects, the normal thinking capacity, IQ capacity, intelligent quotient capacity and depends on the cause and the seizures.
Doctor, what is Ebola? Ebola is a disease caused by protozoa that like like just cholera that is a disease that is caused by a protoora on injection sharing liquids and so you see so savior man we are talking about epilepsy let's talk about ebola one day and those are it attacks her and she dropped by her head before she reached the hospital.
She was no more. Yes. When you drop your head and hit a stone, you get brain damage. And you know when you are hitting down and you are having brain damage, what happens? The electrical problems in the head will do what? The electrical problems in the head will damage with that ea blood pathogen. Yes.
It is a blood protozoora that causes a a certain thing that is called cmp not to work well. So you keep on the rearing and vomiting. Eola same thing as colerant they lie in the same condition in the same protoan condition. So savior man let's talk about epilepsy because I'm answering questions about epilepsy. We will talk about pathogens of blood and ficooral pathogens when time comes. Now uh people with epilepsy are not less intelligent.
They have normal cognitive function.
They can reason well. But the problem comes when you have to tonic seizures which affects the general brain. You see h if you affect the general brain and uh it hits from this side and this side it can affect your cognitive functions if a certain place of your brain is affected.
So it's better you take it's better you take your medicine as as needed rather than not taking your medicine because you reduce the seizures. The more you stay, you stay well. The more you stay well. Now there there is a question that is I've been asked 15 times. Even even here savior man has asked what is uh what is what is uh savior man what is epilepsy?
Epilepsy presents itself at times with a Caesar but sometimes it does not present itself with a with a Caesar. So someone has asked what is a Caesar and how is it related to epilepsy? A Caesar happens when the brain cells send abnormal signals suddenly then you start to converse. You see to converse Dr. Ben Kha complain having headaches all the time. Do you have advice for her? Yes, Kimisha. If you complain having headaches for every time you go to the hospital, get a full hippog and if it is intense headache, do a brain MRI or EEG both of them to check where the body walking exercise. Welcome to the church.
Blessings Dr. Ben and everyone in the house. Thumbs up. Thanks. Thanks. Bar walking exercise. Go to the hospital because you know headache is a is a is a symptom for very many things. It is better you go to hospital a doctor to do a full hemogram.
Check the variations of everything. The white blood cells, the red blood cells, the platelets and then do a radiological exam. You can do an MRI or a CT scan or an EEG.
Yes, Kamisha is a good girl. I I like her too. She's a good girl. She's always here. She's always working hard. Uh you see always a working hard savior man.
She's a very nice girl. So welcome, welcome, welcome. I see walking exercise. So Kamisha, please. it if the headache has been for some time go to the hospital do those tests that I've told you and uh you oh thank you savior man I care about you too yes and let's get to know the problem sometimes it might be migraines migraines have their their treatments now um I've said seaas are abnormal signals that erupted from your brain and then you start having jucky episodes or convulsions Those are Caesars. Now, what causes epilepsy?
That is a question that savior man has asked today. What causes epilepsy? And if you have other questions, h please continue asking. Continue asking those questions. Genetics can be there in a bloodline of some people. You find them having these problems. Head injury. Head injury.
your head may get an injury and you hit your injury and your brain suffers and then you start having these problems.
Stroke. Stroke. You know we have eskeemic stroke, hemoragic stroke, neurogenic stroke. All those can cause the brain to get an injury and then you start having an epileptic moment.
Abnormal signals from your brain. Lack of oxygen at birth can injure you. I'm always on every one live stream.
Tomorrow I'll be at work but I know once I get break I'll saying thanks. Thanks Cooking with Kamisha. Thanks a lot about it. Thanks a lot for uh supporting everyone and interacting with everyone.
You know interaction is a good thing. It makes you have a social bank. You have banked on social stature. Many people know you and when you have a problem you can call one person or the other. You see brain tumors that is called comp compression compression brain injury brain tumors can cause you to have epilepsy because they are they are compressing the they are compressing the brain unknown causes. Some people just have epilepsy from unknown causes. You are just having epileptic episode and you if you you do you do the if you do the the the MRI EEG all five my live stream is always at 10 but guys week days you come and support me too. Yesa at 10 I'm always busy but when I have done I have to come and see what you have done doctor what are the treatments for that now when it comes for treatment for for epilepsy sepia man it depends if it is brought by an infection if it is brought by something that can be treated that one can be treated if it is a tumor n and mom I can see n and mom in the house blessings And man, thanks for coming in. Thanks for coming in. If it is a tumor, if it is a an a an infection bringing high fever, if you treat it, you will be okay. Eh, but now if you have a problem with the neurogenetic that you were born, hey the explorer, welcome the explorer. Hit the like button explorer and share this channel. I see you the explorer.
Explorer thanks for coming in. We are talking about epilepsy. So you are like explorer. Hit the like button. Now let's talk Kimisha. Nothing. I'll be working now. But those ones that are genetic and have no known coffee cakes. Welcome coffee cakes. Thank you for hitting around. Thank you for hitting. We are answering questions concerning We are answering questions concerning um We are answering questions and coffee cakes. Do I do I have your number? I hope you are you share me your WhatsApp number so that when I'll be having some time I can h at you and we talk. I I hope so on your hit me share with me your WhatsApp number on my inbox please of of Instagram. So uh I I was answering Savior man. Savior man we can only manage for those people.
I can call you even direct that share your number. I can call you even direct.
No worries. Um you see uh you know those are people you can manage the drugs we give are the ones that uh reduce the convulsions not treatment but if it is being brought by something that can be managed and it goes away well and good the analysis of a doctor will say but those tests that I'm saying can stress trigger seizures Yes, I'm reading questions that have been sent in my inbox after that topic. Um, can stress trigger uh seizuras? Yes, sleep defiation deprivation illnesses, alcohol and mixed medications can trigger seizures in some people. And you know when your brain is under stress, what happens? you become having so much catacolamines that are being released in your blood. So when the catakolamines are being kakolamines are adrenal some steroids they are like steroids. So you you can have because they a lot of them can damage your your brain and then you start having seizures. So stress can and you know stress leads some people to have sleep deprivation illnesses alcohol and missed medications. So it is it save your man coffee cakes cooking with chem in the house all the people that are here blessings and body walking exercise blessings and thanks for tuning in and leaving your your like. I usually say everyone who is a new person in the house, everyone a new person in the house, always leave your subscription and uh like like like leave your subscription and and like it is important you you you you interact and notifications will come your way. Now can someone die from a Caesar? Most of most Caesars stop on their own and are not fatal. more some that are like absent seizures most of them stop on their own. However, that are very prolonged or injur injuries during can be dangerous and urgent medication may be needed because long scissors I've said they will injure your brain. Long scissors they will injure your your brain.
Do you see? H what is a Caesar? When is a Caesar an emergency? When can I know that this type of Caesar needs an emergency occurrence? That is a question that has been asked 15 times. When can I know that this Caesar now it needs an emergency? We don't need to stay with this person here. We need to call an ambulance so fast. Emergency.
Call 991. Emergency. H. We need to save life. A Caesar that lasts for more than 5 minutes. This person is having a Caesar. No wonder no matter if it is No matter if it is absent Caesar or generalized fever. If this person is staring at you for like 5 minutes without waking up, that is an absent fever. And it is a a a typical coming from both sides. Call an an ambulance or get a car, rush this person to a hospital. Very important.
Multiple seizures happening without recovery.
Convulsions, having a tonic, convulsions, losing energy, dropping down, donic, lonic for more than 5 minutes. Don't stay with that person saying that we know he'll just recover.
She'll just recover. Get an ambulance.
Get a car. rush to a to a hospital.
Breathing problems occur when a person is having a seizure. You start feeling seeing someone do like he cannot this person cannot breathe that is an emergency episode. It is the person first seizure.
Every time you see that that person has stayed so well and then you start having a seizure, rush this person to a hospital. First scissors may be telling you something is not good at all and something must be must be done. You see first scissors need to to to be rushed to hospital so fast. First scissors. H savior man. I'm not talking about scissors. I'm not talking about scissors.
They saw when someone is having a Caesar lower him on her on the floor, turn him on her side, put a pillow under the head. Yes. Cooking with with chem that is very important. It is called a recovery pollution. Always lie that person on the ground. Turn this person on the side on the left side of the hand. Put a pillow on the head. It is called recovery position. That is a tick for those people. They know what they are doing. Patent airway brain relaxation. Oxygen gets to the body and then this person recovers so well. This person recovers so well. Can cause with epic can people with ep drive? Yes, they can drive. But imagine an attack of a person when this person is driving. In many countries, you will find that people can drive if scissors are controlled for required period. But in many countries there are it happens to me at work the patient having a CI have to lower her to the floor. Yes, it's very important. lower that person to the floor or if this person is on bed, wait till the Caesar subsides then turn this person on the left side.
Don't force when the Caesar is happening. Maybe it's a tonic clonic Caesar and you are fighting with this person. No, just wait, relax. Make sure that this person is not joking himself or herself. When the Caesar is going to subside, turn this person on the left.
the recovery position. Let this person now feel relieved.
And what you can do when they are too much, you you you call for help.
Get some phenobon, get some valoy, get some diasporas, get some kamazipine.
But mostly in hospitals, what do you give? Phenobital low do of 8 mg. slowly so that you can not get airway collapse.
So that is it my friends um about the recovery position can epilepsy be cured? That is a question that I've been asked so many times. Can epilepsy be cured? What do you think my guys? Can epilepsy be cured? Can it be cured? What do you think? When I turn her in the recovery position, she was having more seizures back to back. I called 991. Yes, it is important. When you turn this person in a recovery position and is still having it, don't change. Let that person stay in recovery position and call for emergency help.
A doctor will come there and will find a line and he will give slow phenob so that the scissors can be controlled. You see uh it is very important to to note that when we have said an emergency is more than 4 to 5 minutes.
You should not sit with a patient for more than 5 minutes and you have not called for help or you have not contacted any doctor or you have not gone with this patient to a hospital. It is it can lead to fatality on the first Caesar. If a person has never had a seizure, please take this person to hospital.
Some form can disappear over time. the seizures, the epilepsy and the sad part she demands from it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Hope it took so long. Uh that a person like that always needs a quick intervention.
A quick intervention like a bowlers of phenob so that the scissors could stop faster. But the more more than 5 minutes of tonic scissors they injure the the brain and the person dies. uh some forms or can disappear over time while others require long-term treatment medicine to take care of the seizures. So those are the questions that have been asked. Now look at this question. Can lack of sleep trigger scissors? Yes.
If you are working day and night, you are sleeping 30 minutes, you'll get scissors because of lack of the brain is not having time.
to to relax and work on your body.
Colomines release low melatonin.
Melatonin helps the brain to to relax and helps the brain to work on the body.
So lack of sleep can cause seizuras.
Yes, if you are watching right now where you are and you are a new person, welcome to the chat. This is Benjamin the wise guy. Can phone or video games cause epilepsy? No. No. No. No. No. No, most people are unaffected.
The long whatever that causes these people to have fevers is the long stay without sleep. H but you know the if a person is a person who was born with epilepsy the flashing pattern and and lights can trigger but it cannot cause it can trigger an episode. If you have had that problem for some time, it can trigger.
Can a child inherit epilepsy? That is another question. It's a genetic link you can inherit. But not all of them. It is not a guarantee that you can inherit because your mother or your father had epilepsy that you can inherit. What should you do during a season?
Cooking with Kisha has just answered.
Stay calm.
Protect the head. Move harmful object away from this person. Turn the person on a side afterwards. Recovery position.
Time the Caesar. Very important. Any Caesar that goes 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes. No, you should not wait. Call for help. And if you are a doctor or a medical practitioner, find a line, get a line, give phenobiton 8 mig, slow mig of 16 until the Caesar stops.
Yes.
Valpate. You can use it slow dose as the Caesar goes on to to stop. As the scissor goes on to stop. Do not force object on the mouth. H forcefully restrain them from having the jacky moment. The scissor don't. You may injure the muscles. The muscles can get a muscle to because you know it's an electric Caesar. You know, give food or water during a you'll choke this person, you'll get a asphixia, oxygen deprivation, you know. Can people with epilepsy play sports? They claim swimming and climbing may need to super you may need some supervision to when you are playing some sports. Now do antic medicine have side effects? Some of them have side effects. One of the anticizes side effects is drowsiness, dizziness, mood changes and weight changes. Most of the people that take these drugs have more weight have more weight. You see that doctors balance control with side effects. So we give in milligs according to how the person is and there are several. So we choose a specific one for a a specific person.
That's why I don't like talking about drugs a lot because this one needs physical intervention with the client so that you can choose the specific one that you need. Can fever can fever cause seizures in children? Yes, they are called febral scissors. When there's very high temperatures and you are releasing very many prostaglandins, the brain can be injured and then you get some fevers. uh these are different forms from codic chronic epilepsy. This is not an epilepsy. It is a Caesar. An attack because of some problem that has occurred. You see it is not a Caesar.
Now let's talk about something that we call can epilepsy the memory. Dr. Then when a person have scissors and also a DNR order it's kind yes it's tricky but you know u um we there is you know everyone has a everyone has got a presentation and as I say all scissors are different types and they have different types of of epilepsy.
So you you you you treat according to and that's why I don't like talking about treatment. If you you you check most of my videos I advise but when it comes to specific treatment with drugs I avoid I avoid you see I avoid that.
This is left for doctors only like electric electric defibrillations dark moments intubation for resuscitation this is where the doctors are needed not anyone you get not anyone that's why I'm saying when it comes to do not resuscitate uh we check at some things we check at some things and you weigh out. It is tricky as you say but let let that be left to the ethics of the doctor personally.
Yes, there are some ethics when you are doctor's ethics when you are you are you are working and practicing and some people even if they have signed and do not recover DNR when this person has signed a DNR there are sometimes we end up resuscitating and the person had signed you get so it is tricky and that one is left at a personal level. So we don't just say do not resuscitate do not resuscitate because that person had signed. There are some instances you would resuscitate.
Sometimes scissors can affect memory.
That was the question. And there it's a can can alcohol trigger scissors always.
Alcohol withdrawals can cause scissors.
Mixed alcohol with scissors medication is a bad thing. You'll get more scissors.
Can someone feel a Caesar coming dejà vu smelling sudden? If Adar is in a place if the person had stopping breathing, you can't do CPR.
I've told you cooking with the doctor's training and the oath we take. There are sometimes we we there are some situations there are some situations I don't want to talk about that uh cooking with Tisha here let me not talk about that here yes let me not talk about that because uh the the oath we take there are some things that we we can we can do we can do and u there are some things we cannot do. So when it comes to matters concerning ethics, when it comes to matters concerning ethics, I don't like going deep into them because the oaths we take, they guide us on how to manage some patients legally even if it will look wrong in the eyes of the people. So let me not go down to that so much. Now, now we we are at the last part. Can someone feel a Caesar coming? Yes, you can feel a Caesar coming. That is always given. You can feel a Caesar coming at times. We call them the Javu tickling sensation, sudden fear, visual challenges and men.
So, that is it for today. I've answered some of the questions that were here.
Several questions that were asked today.
Hope uh hope uh I've tried to answer those questions. Is anyone else having a question that can ask ask here? Let me It's 3 me 5 minutes for the question. You know, here it is 10:30 p.m. My time to go home is just away. My time to go home is just away.
Anyone have any question?
Anyone has any question?
So anyone has any question if you have any question you can ask I'm checking on the some of the questions that have been asked by several people here and some I can't ask I can't answer Some of them I cannot answer at all at all.
