Whoever is publishing these videos of her episodes needs to stop the creative editing. Hard enough to discern what’s happening without adding jumpy edits that would make any healthy person look nuts. Just site the raw video.
Oh, this is induced by DRUGS. Not by DOGS. (I was wondering if cats were safer.)
My husband hasn’t been officially diagnosed with epilepsy, however, he had a seizures a few years ago and is now on anti-seizure medication. I can attest that it has greatly affected his moods and ability to cope with day-to-day stress.

What about Grandpa?
I suspect Grandpa wasn’t so grand.
There’s a reason Hillary has a soft spot for children.
I sometimes wonder if all of the brat-control drugs prescribed to Generation Snowflake (the generation sorely lacking experience of parental discipline and corporal punishment) has been the root of all of the mental illness they display, like body dysmorphia (expressed as “transgender”, “otherkin”, and other pretend nonsense), self-diagnosed schizophrenia, bi-polar, and PTSD.
