Evanescence's Amy Lee Talks Seizures
. "People freak out if someone is having a seizure. They think there's something wrong with them or they're on drugs or demon-possessed," she added. "I think, especially in young people, we have enough against us to make us feel awkward and different that things like that we should be able to understand because it's totally not that weird. We all have our little differences and quirks about us. And I want to spread awareness. It's really common." The Epilepsy Foundation states epilepsy is a medical condition that produces seizures affecting a variety of mental and physical functions. If someone has a seizure, how should passersby respond? "� You don't put a wallet in their mouth; don't put anything in their mouth; that's this big weird stupid thing � they're not going to swallow their tongue! That's physically impossible," Lee said. "You just want to make sure they're not going to hit their head and give them some space and let them breathe, and just let them get through it. That's it, and just don't freak out. That's part of it, too. It's normal. It's [going to] pass in a second. Call an ambulance if they need an ambulance." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
