10 Critical Factors To Know About Absence Seizures

1. The Difference Between A Seizure And Daydreaming

There are a few key differences between an absence seizure and daydreaming. Daydreaming usually comes on slowly and is more likely to happen when a child is bored such as during school hours. A child who is daydreaming can be interrupted and tends to continue until something interferes. A seizure can occur anytime including during physical activity and tends to come on very suddenly. It cannot be interrupted and ends on its own typically between ten and twenty seconds.
