10. How To Handle Absence Seizures
During a seizure, the safest thing to do is to allow the seizure to pass. A person may be momentarily confused, but they generally don’t need any first aid or particular care.2MD, Authored By: Elaine Kiriakopoulos, and Authored Date: 08/201 ‘Absence Seizures.’ Epilepsy Foundation, www.epilepsy.com/learn/types-seizures/absence-seizures.
With proper treatment, most people with absence seizures can do any job and succeed in school. However, they may experience discrimination and require support from friends, family and local groups. Reasonable supports in education and help with managing stress and anxiety can help a person succeed and avoid further seizures.3‘Absence Seizures.’ Johns Hopkins Medicine, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/epilepsy/absence-seizures.
