@drjoe_md: Absence seizures are a type of epilepsy that primarily occurs in children and is characterized by brief, sudden lapses in awareness or consciousness, often lasting just a few seconds. During an episode, the individual may stare blankly, exhibit subtle body movements like eye blinking or lip smacking, and become unresponsive to external stimuli. These seizures are usually not accompanied by convulsive movements and may go unnoticed. They can occur multiple times a day and may interfere with learning and daily activities. Treatment typically involves antiepileptic medications to control seizure frequency. #seizures #newparents #epilepsy #pediatrics #healthtips #toddlerhacks
