i began having seizures because when born i was pulled out with forceps and they scared my brain (damage to left cerebral)
make sure it don't last over a minute and half and make sure they don't hurt theirself. if last longer then a minute and half call paramedics
if anyone start having seizures they should start seeing a neurologist
my left cerebral freeze

Some seizures are treatable, some aren't. Seizures can be provoked (caused by a bad reaction to stress, drugs, no sleep, alcohol, etc.) or by a medical condition (brain tumor, epilepsy). Provoked seizures are treated by simply avoiding what caused them and usually don't reoccur. Brain tumors... Well, you've got bigger problems. Some epileptics can be treated, others can't. If they can't be treated, it is called intractable epilepsy (I have partially controlled, partially intractable... They're partway controlled by meds).

Epilepsy is thought to be genetic, but it isn't always. A lot of times epileptics have their first seizures in adolescene, possibly because of all the stress and changes they're going through. Or it could be provoked, and have a clear reason for the cause.

If you see someone having a seizure, do NOT put ANYTHING in their mouth. They could choke. Don't bother talking to hem, they're unconscious and can't hear you (I'm told people always try to soothe me when I'm having a seizure... Waste of time, its like talking to a sleeping person). Don't shake them. Move sharp or dangerous objects away. Try to make sure they're flat (not hanging partway off a bed or something). If they throw up, which sometimes happens, roll them onto their side so they don't suffocate on it. Check for a medical ID bracelet. If they don't have one, call 911. If they do, and it says they're epileptic, you don't need to call 911 unless the seizure lasts for 5 minutes or more (if you call 911 every time, I promise the epileptic will hate you). When the person wakes up, let them know what happened and where they are, since they'll have forgotten.

You can't do anything when you're having a seizure. You're unconscious. But you should probably treat a diabetic the same way you'd treat anyone else having a seizure, though I don't know much about diabetes...

Seizures are basically when the brain has a massive, God-sized temper tantrum. Random cells in the brain start "firing", or basically spazzing, and then all the brain cells start spazzing and you lose consciousness and muscle control and everything else. Also, in. A seizure, the heart undergoes tachycardia (beats really really fast) which can be bad and lead to cardiac arrest if it doesn't stop.

Yes they are treatable medications from a neurologist

If you witness someone having a seizure you should try to keep them from hitting their head on anything and try to make them comfortable until they come out of it.
I was always told it is basically a short circut in the brain but it is obviously more complicated than that.
An epileptic seizure, occasionally referred to as a fit, is defined as a transient symptom of "abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain".[1] The outward effect can be as dramatic as a wild thrashing movement (tonic-clonic seizure) or as mild as a brief loss of awareness. It can manifest as an alteration in mental state, tonic or clonic movements, convulsions, and various other psychic symptoms (such as déjà vu or jamais vu). Sometimes it is not accompanied by convulsions but a full body "slump", where the person simply will lose control of their body and slump to the ground. The medical syndrome of recurrent, unprovoked seizures is termed epilepsy, but seizures can occur in people who do not have epilepsy.

About 4% of people will have an unprovoked seizure by the age of 80 and the chance of experiencing a second seizure is between 30% and 50%.[2][3] Treatment may reduce the chance of a second one by as much as half.[3] Most single episode seizures are managed by primary care physicians (emergency or general practitioners), whereas investigation and management of ongoing epilepsy is usually by neurologists. Difficult-to-manage epilepsy may require consultation with an epileptologist, a neurologist with an interest in epilepsy.
