Why should children with epilepsy not watch TV for long periods of time?

  Why is my child’s seizure always out of control?  As we all know, epilepsy is a brain dysfunction caused by abnormal neuronal discharge, and computers, TV and game consoles are a kind of light stimulation, which can not only lead to excessive brain fatigue when applied for a long time, but also stimulate the human central nervous system, thus rapidly causing abnormal excitation of brain neurons and thus inducing seizures, especially for patients with previous history of febrile convulsions, encephalitis, traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular malformation, brain developmental disorders, etc. This is especially true for patients with a history of brain tissue damage from various causes such as febrile convulsions, encephalitis, traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular malformation, brain developmental disorders, etc. In addition, this excitement can also disrupt the metabolic balance of nerve cells in the brain in normal people who stay up late and work under stress for a long time, inducing neuronal discharges that can lead to epileptic disorders.  Imagine what would happen if a seizure occurred while crossing a street. What would happen if a seizure occurred while driving a vehicle? What would happen if a seizure occurred while swimming?  In outpatient clinics and wards, after we find that patients have such problems, we patiently inform them and their parents of the dangers to their bodies caused by watching TV and computers for a long time, and the parents of the patients in turn ask the doctors, “Is it true that if you don’t play TV or computers, you won’t have seizures?”  Epileptic patients, since there have been so many precedents of seizures induced by prolonged TV watching, computer watching, playing video games and reading cell phone novels, with limb convulsions and unconsciousness, parents are so anxious, worried and attached.  Can we still not be alert?  I hope that the epileptic patients and parents can join hands, strengthen supervision, supervision, guidance, attract the child’s attention out of the online games, take the child to play, do aerobic exercise, read more books that are good for the body and mind, etc., protect the child’s eyes, exercise the body, perhaps, seizures can be reduced, academic performance can be improved, and work can be effective.
