Written by a US Paediatric Neurologist for both healthcare staff and parents, this very informative article (part 1) discusses the importance of being able to identify seizures, in particular what the seizure looks like, how it starts, how it progresses, whether the patient is alert or not. It details conditions that often mimic seizures, as well as the various types of seizures that occur, particularly in childhood and adolescents.
