La prise en charge des patients épilepsies (Épisode 3/3)

Discover epilepsy in video: a series to understand everything Does epilepsy ring a bell? It's a fairly common neurological disorder, affecting approximately 600,000 people in France. It can appear at any age and manifests as seizures: the brain experiences a small electrical "short circuit." The symptoms are very varied: they can be severe convulsions, but also simple absences, or even strange sensations like hallucinations. In our first three videos, we explain everything from A to Z: Why do people have or become epileptic? (The causes) Where do seizures come from? (Their origin) What happens when you are treated in the hospital? Research is progressing: challenges and hope Even though treatments are improving, they are not always enough to eliminate seizures for all patients. But there is hope! In the Île-de-France region, several research laboratories, part of the DIM C-BRAINS network, are working tirelessly to better understand this complex disease. New videos are planned for the coming months to showcase the fascinating work of these researchers. Stay tuned! Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions; we're here to answer them!
