The Overexcited Brain

We all know the our brain works wonders in just about EVERY situation. Whether its storing information so we can recall it later and try to ace our exams, or helping us cope physically, mentally and emotionally in any circumstance . It just works magnificently! I know we're all pretty busy trying to deal with what goes on in our daily lives that we tend to forget the importance of the brain.
I remember growing up and  my friends and I used to play the "which would you rather prefer" game. Would you prefer going blind or going deaf?... Would you prefer to having no arms or no legs?... Would you prefer being fat and pretty or being ugly and skinny?..
(Ofcourse as a kid, as you can tell we seemed to always have too much time on our hands :/) But at that point in our lives what we understood was that if someone had lost one their five senses or one of their appendages, for example, it was like their life was over. I mean how could you cope with not being "normal"? At least thats what we thought!
This past summer I went to my father's clinic to drop off an item that he had left home. When i arrived i noticed an elderly couple that were getting out of their car. I didnt really think much of it and gathered my things from my car and headed towards entrance of the clinic. As I was walking over there, i noticed the lady of the couple i had seen earlier, was having trouble getting out of the car. I didn't think the husband would have been much help since he could barely get out himself so i decided to help her. Once she managed to get out, the three of us headed towards the entrance. Not even 30 seconds had gone by and i noticed that the elderly lady randomly started shaking. I just remember me standing there both confused and shock not knowing what to do. I thought to myself, should I grab her? and the next thing you know she was on the ground now having convulsions. I told her husband to stay with her as I ran inside the clinic and demanded the nurses to go out and help her. I soon found that the old lady was having a seizure and suffered from a long time of epilepsy. About 20 years earlier, she had gotten in a car accident and suffered come kind of permanent brain injury. That morning she had forgotten to take the medication that would help control her seizures. I'm just glad that she had it outside of a clinic of all places!
The other day i was recalling the whole incident and just thought to myself how unfortunate is to have that condition. As a child no would have ever thought to ask "would you prefer to have a damaged brain or a missing arm"? Obviously, I'd choose the missing arm! I mean we don't ever think about how much our brain controls and how much we should protected it. Why don't we wear helmet more often, i mean think about?
Below is a video of talking about what epilepsy is and what can cause it.

I think its important for us to take the health of our brain seriously and maybe start thinking about where exactly we're taking it :P. I felt its was an important thing to share and educate others more on brain diseases. Epilepsy is a common brain disorder and even some historically important people had it. Epilepsy can occur due to many different reason, some even because of genetic abnormalities.
