What's up with Wendy? Medikidz explain epilepsy
Epilepsy is about twice as common in children as it is in adults (about 700 per 100,000 in children under the age of 16 years compared to 330 per 100,000 in adults). Epileptic children can often find it confusing and difficult to understand what is happening inside their body. A seizure must be explained to a child in an age-appropriate way.
