Epilepsy
There are many forms of Epilepsy that affect the person in different ways. Ranging from frequent and violent to infrequent and mild, we will introduce you to the many varieties of this disorder.
Cannabis & Epilepsy
Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide, causing frequent and unpredictable seizures that cannot be cured. While long-term drug therapy can help most patients control their seizures, about 30% of cases are resistant to standard treatments.
Shaken Baby Impact Syndrome
SBIS is the medical term used to describe the violent shaking of an infant/baby/child and the injury sustained by that brief moment of violence. This can result in serious brain injury, including seizures, mental retardation and blindness.
