Welcome to the epilepsy.com Multimedia Center! Here you can browse our expanding collection of Videos, Podcasts, and Animations. The multimedia items in this section are both educational and instructional, and include podcasts from the epilepsy.com community. Use the overview categories below to jump into the media of your choice, or scroll further down to see the latest videos, podcasts, and animations added to the website.

Some of the videos and podcasts in this section will show a person having a seizure. While only the person who has a seizure can really know what it feels like, others can appreciate the experience much easier by seeing what a seizure looks like. Seeing a seizure for the first time can be upsetting to some people, especially if they don't know what to expect. However, after viewing a seizure, most people are not as fearful as anticipated and find the experience helpful. For example, knowing what a seizure looks like can help people know what type of seizure they have, what to look for and write down after a seizure, and how to respond to someone during a seizure. Knowing what a seizure looks like can also make it easier to talk openly about seizures with friends, family, and health care professionals.

After viewing a seizure in a video for the first time, make time to talk to a trusted adult. People with seizures or their loved ones should write down their questions and experiences and share this with their health care providers as well. Children ideally should view these videos with a parent or guardian.
