Epilepsy is a serious neurological (brain) disorder. It is important to know its name in local languages for proper medical communication and to remove the social stigma surrounding it.
If you see someone having an epileptic seizure, DO NOT put keys, spoons, or water in their mouth. Simply roll them onto their side to help them breathe, protect their head with a pillow, and wait for the seizure to stop.
Flashing, bright strobe lights (like in movies or concerts) can instantly trigger a seizure in some epileptic patients.
In Tamil, Epilepsy is most commonly called காக்கை வலிப்பு (Kaakai Valippu).
The human brain runs on tiny, controlled electrical signals.
In the past, because people did not understand biology, they wrongly believed that 'Kaakai Valippu' was caused by evil spirits, ghosts, or curses.
While it is rarely 'cured' permanently, over 70% of patients can completely stop having seizures by taking daily medication. Some children even outgrow the condition as their brain matures.
