@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

What if this happens as an adult? Is it just staring into space?

My daughter has those. Her eyes will kind of roll like she’s looking up and her head will bob. She’s on medication for it and she’s doing great!

absence seizures are worse than they seem because teachers will think i just zoned out or got bored leading to them lecturing me about not paying attention (NOTE FOR TEACHERS: READ YOUR STUDENTS FILES

I thought they were called petit mall seizures. That’s what one of my kids had and now they have grand mal seizures as an adult in their 30s.
