How can I explain epilepsy to children?

Epilepsy is a disorder that is still widely unknown and that still causes a great deal of rejection in society, especially among children. This rejection is magnified further still by the limited information provided in schools or through other public means. Many children and teachers lack information on this disorder, and they may not understand what epileptic seizures are.

El International Bureau of Epilepsia (IBE) has created a series of educational videos using cartoons. They feature Campi, a friendly seahorse who suffers from epilepsy.
