The following video clips are excerpts from Epilepsy Ontario's video, "All about Epilepsy". It was produced in 1991; some medical references may now be dated. There are no references to the newest generation of anticonvulsant medications, recent diagnostic advances or the very real issues faced by all people with epilepsy or another disability every day.

However, these depictions of common seizures and the look into living with a seizure disorder are still relevant. So, too, remains the need– both to know about epilepsy and to help.
