My 27-yr old son has Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. It’s a horrific Epilepsy Syndrome that we’ve fought hard to control. I stumbled upon your video while searching for a video explaining seizures for a young lady who has been working with my son. She’s been inspired by him and is interested in a nursing program to become a NP. Now she has a resource for her studies. Great job! Doctors should watch this.
I thank God for smart teachers like this man who teaches people that wants to learn. The best teachers can be found on RUclips...for free. Nowadays, ignorance is a choice.
Initially, I couldn’t agree more. With that said, you could make the argument that people don’t have access to these resources or know that they exist.
If you have high BP or you had a stroke then you might have seizures I'm a doctor and I help people who had a stroke and I give them a shot that makes the blood break up and they go home when the blood is broken up and I get reports that the strokes made seizures
You have the best personality! I LOVE your spark and the life in your eyes! I see that you love your line of work and it shows. You make your lectures so addictive by the way you teach them!! Many thanks x
You areare the best teacher ever and ever. I'm in pediatric rotation since you dont have pediatric videos i'm really struggling to understand and i always say : if only Zach was my teacher
I thanks MY Lord for those kinds of intelligent teachers that he gives the power who took the time to learn about SEIZURES and teach people with SEIZURES.
You guys literally change lives...medicine just makes sense with Ninja Nerd.. Honestly wish u could teach my university to lecture us with such an amazing detail yet simplicity to e peak
As a person that had a left temporal lobe tumor (astrocytoma), along with seizures, I can tell you that I've experienced the Aura, deja vu, nausea, along with the focal motor (tonic) sensations. Now I know in much more detail what's happening in my brain. Great explanation. PS: Keppra (Leveteracetam) is what I was prescribed.
@@scottcupp8129 I'm still on Leveteracetam, through some tests my neurologist told me that the Leveteracetam levels were normal, so we started to cut off on some things like caffeine & sugar (I used to drink about 4 cups a day), and it has really made a positive impact on my health (less headaches, no deja vus)
I have epilepsy and I always dread having my neuro lectures. You have truly done an amazing job at the content. Thank you so much. This is my go-to channel before every exam.
Thank you. Your videos are renewing my enthusiasm in learning and motivation to go back to college. I would encourage those with ADHD to watch; it’s a game changer!
I must say that you are the greatest teacher I've ever had. You inspired me and make me dream about the moment when I'll be a doctor and teaching my students. Even if I have studied the farmacology of nervous system, it is cool to revise the basics. You're my favourite
Mine too- @VAB VBA- and don't obsess about spelling mistakes- especially if English wasn't your birth language. I had 5 years of French language tutelage- I still make my Canadian friend from Quebec giggle over my phonetic spellings.
Thus dude is King YT Dr.!!! Amazing clarity and simplicity while maintaining clinical accuracy. If I needed a Nerologist, he would be the Guy I look for. His straight forward approach is reassuring. Plus he's sleeved. 👍
Thank you for making this video, I have had epilepsy for 18 years and have no idea why I have grand mal seizures. It sucks! This video has taught me more than any doctor has ever tried to tell me, or been able to. Still going to see the doctor don't worry, lol.
This dude teaches so well. You are amazing ninja nerd!! I found this channel yesterday and I’m so happy I found it… been watching for hours since yesterday 😂
This is a phenomenal video. Thank you so much for your depth of research and the comprehensive nature of your presentation. The passion with which you present this delicate material makes it even easier to connect to a very complex phenomenon. I am a single mom and a nurse. My daughter just recently started presenting with seizures: 7 since August. It has been extremely frustrating and degrading not to have found a provider to take us seriously, often dismissing us from one visit to the next. Meanwhile, my child continues to suffer. Thank you for taking the time to empower caregivers as well as practitioners.
Wow that was great. I never believed that I could listen to such a long lecture so focused. You guys are amazing. Everything is so well structured and contains all the important key points together. Thank you so much for your effort. Much appreciated.
Best teacher! I see your videos from Peru and these are very helpful for my usmle step 1 preparation. I really notice how much you enjoy sharing and teaching your lectures!
Thank you for your great contribution in selflessly exerting for the education for thousands of students !!! You are so much respectworthy !!! I will one day too .. become a doctor and treat people to best of my ability and also educate people like you !! Thank you for inspiring me so much !!! Thank you so much❤️🙏
What I have learned As a Epilepsy Patient • It’s hard to bear, but we cannot lose hope to get healthy one day. • We can reduce ratio of attacks, if we follow doctor’s advices in our daily routine. • We have to spread awareness about epilepsy, and show the world that nothing is impossible in life. • There are many people who are suffering from epilepsy, but they are living their lives very happily. • It’s a continuous struggle to keep Yourself focus on your goals rather then worry about your disease.
The amount of knowledge you are blessing us with is insane. Worth weeks of my study material! Thank you ninja nerd, you are saving us and our future patients!
I’ve been getting in the process of an epilepsy diagnoses, the paramedics know me by name and told my fiancé when I passed out the other night was that I have seizures that make me faint, high heart heart, low blood pressure, insomnia and always twitch and get pins and needles trying to fall asleep and am on a high dose of levitrazapam and b1, and this video really helped me understand what is going on 🖤
40:13. "We already talked about this one...deja vu." Intentional or not, I see what you did there...well-played, sir. Well-played indeed. Great presentation as always...truly doing God's Work, NN Team!
Watching this whole thing I felt like you were diagnosing me I have never ever seen seizures broken down I like you break them down even though I have seizures I’ve never understood them so thank you
Great work as always...all medical students and doctors should watch your videos for best understanding of all topics...God bless u and your team..Much love from India
Great job.....one part that was not mentioned is Catamenial epilepsy which is seizures related to hormones.. Thanks a million for that wonderful effort.. Very very appreciated
Hi Dr I'm Preparing for UG MEDICAL Entrance test of India Called NEET using your videos. They are so soo Helpful to Understand the concepts. Thanks a lot Bless me good
Dear Zach, as usual your summaries are fantastic! Please note that deja vu and impending fear of doom are two different pre-ictal situations. (Deja vu in French means literally "already seen" and it's a feeling that what is happening right now has already happened, or you've already seen the scene/situation.)
Hi guys! Thanks for this. I’m on a crash course to learn as much as I possibly can about seizures because I was just diagnosed with a seizure condition. My neurologist can’t be much more specific yet-looks like more time and observation is needed before he can narrow it down. I think you might consider adding psychedelic drugs to your list of drugs that lower the seizure threshold. I know because it happened to me-a combination of LSD and lithium back in 1992 gave me a huge bout of clonic/tonic seizures (full on status epilepticus) for at least an hour, followed by a coma for about 6-7 hours. I also fell on my face so hard that I broke my nose. Since then, I’ve had a handful of seizures under circumstances where I would have never had them before-dehydration, flashing lights, etc. Then, about 6 years ago I started having severe migraines, tinnitus, and weird visual phenomena that usually behave like migraine auras but sometimes don’t. My neurologist says my brain looks like I played football in college: I have small bits of collected scar tissue from TIAs over the years, related to what looks like pretty constant seizure activity. I’m still learning the terminology, but I think I have both absence and different types of focal seizures. I did have a lot of concussions as a kid because I was a crazy tomboy and I also snowboarded and hit my head a few times doing that, so that could be related, but I doubt I would be having the problems I have now had I not messed around with that particular combo of drugs. (Too bad, for me anyway, because I actually did get a lot of therapeutic benefit from psychedelics, and I think there’s a lot of real potential in the research being done in psychology and, hopefully, psychopharmacology, for depression and anxiety and other issues that are difficult to treat). We’ve landed on Topomax for now to hopefully deal with the migraines and cut down on the seizure activity. I was already taking Esgic and Diazepam, for the migraines and anxiety respectively, so maybe the cocktail will work without our having to move on to some of the anti-epileptic meds that have more intense side effects.
Hi !!! It sounds like you have heavy metals in your brain !!! So you need to take the HEAVY METAL DETOX SMOOTHIE BY MEDICAL MEDIUM. He has written 6 books, if I was you, I will be getting these books & learn how to finally heal. Because if you are waiting for your neurologist, you'll be trapped by the pharmaceutical drugs. I know that you can heal......!!!
You made this topic so approachable! In a lot of books its just so unneccessarily convoluted thank u so much for making this lecture in such an easy to understand and remember format!
The great teacher..with a Hulk like personality...Salute you sir...day after tomorrow I'm having presentation on management of epilepsy...its covered all the important things which I didn't undestand previously..lots of love from India.
Just a correction for focal seizures with impairment and focal seizures without impairments on NN notes they are reversed and the correct is that focal seizures without impairment is called simple partial seizure. All good. A great supporter for NN and a big lover 😍
Love your vids. I'm an Rn and worked in neuro step-down and rehab, general rehab, medsurg, and also psych. Some of what you said here reminded of some of my psychiatric patients not presenting with seizures, but with mental abnormalities caused by some of the metabolic causes you mentioned. But that's not the point of my comment. 2001 (age 21) I started having seizures. More specifically complex partial seizures. Never had any trigger, aura or warning. They just happened. I was treated with several medicines for 6 years with no benefit. In 6 years of treatment I also had a few big bad seizures. It turns out I had a BRAIN TUMOR in my left temporal lobe. How it was missed on MRI for YEARS still baffles me. Fortunately several different tests determined it was safe to remove. The tumor happened to be a PLEOMORPHIC XANTHOASTROCYTOMA. It may be rare, but seizures are usually the only symptom. In hindsight, I know it was affecting me psychologically years before the seizures started. You can add this tumor to the list of neoplastic causes of seizures. Unfortunately, because of the tumor and surgery location, my mental and emotional health was unstable. To be brief, I was forced to leave nursing. But the good part of this story is I'm healthy now with no deficit. No seizures since 2007 and no neuro follow ups since 2016. I'm still trying to figure out who I am sinces the tumor removal but thats beside the point. My point is you can add a PXA to your list of tumors. Thanks for your vids. They are awesome.
I came across your channel while studying for my national midwifery exam (looking for more in-depth explanation of things like fetal circulation and Rh/ABO). BUT my daughter has epilepsy (one of her symptoms of Rett Syndrome) and this particular video helped to explain things that her neurologists never did--I know they try to keep things simple for parents, but I'm a nerd and always want to understand the details. This was explained in such a clear, concise, and thorough way, and I really appreciate being able to understand what's actually happening with my daughter when she experiences a seizure (hers are typically Absence, though she can have Tonic-Clonic if she's sick). Thank you for your down-to-earth, engaging way of teaching. It's very helpful!
Crazy! I gained seizures after having an AVM surgery! But luckily I have had no seizure for almost four years! Have been taking my Kepra to help not having them!
