Can my child watch TV and play video games?
A child with epilepsy is quite able to watch TV, play computer or video games. It is unlikely that these will trigger a seizure. If he/she is diagnosed with photosensitive epilepsy, then a seizure is more likely to occur. To prevent this, get them to sit a considerable distance away from the screen. Photosensitive epilepsy only accounts for 5% of the population of people with epilepsy.
