The fact that she had a slight lisp when approaching her mom with the baby adds up with biting your tongue during a seizure. Thatās one supporting detail that was blown off
@jcook910
There is no "ppl dont do x y and z" during/after seizures. It is one of the most under researched disorders in medicine and it happens to be very common and with astronomical variables.
@wikkedlildifranco
I could actually believe that she did it after a seizure. My husband has them and even in his hazy period, he's up walking around and doing things, including having full conversations. In fact, he had multiple seizures the day we renewed our vows, and couldn't remember most of the day, but he was conscious, talking and participating in the activities. In the past, I watched him have a seizure, come out of it, and then go to the bathroom, wash his hands, open the fridge, and pour himself a glass of water. And any time I talk to him during a postictal state, he's very matter-of-fact, to the point, even-toned.

When my second child was born my great-grandmother had been diagnosed about a year or so prior with Alzheimer's. She kept asking to keep my daughter. So I just randomly asked her one day where do you heat up a baby's bottle and she said in the bathtub. Then I asked her where do you bathe the baby and she said in the microwave .
@ElaineLeger
Imagine suffering a seizure and coming back to consciousness and to find out you just microwaved your own baby. I can't imagine the pain or the shock for a mother to realise you just killed your own child that you tried to have for so long. Or the pain of realising you killed a little human being and how much he suffered for those 3 minutes.

A classmate of mine had to leave school because she started developing seizures (no idea what kind or why) and would take her clothes off afterwards. She wasnāt mentally present at all. Every single time she had a seizure she would take her clothes off after it finished. I donāt know any details beyond that, but her parents didnāt want her to be naked in school, obviously. As someone who used to volunteer at a hospital as a translator (Iām a polyglot), I have zero problem believing that this woman was a kind and loving mother who did a horrific thing because her brain just āglitched.ā People donāt realize how fragile the human brain is and how a good/harmless person can suddenly do a monstrous thing because of a seizure, tumour, psychosis, postpartum depression, etc.

I'm a midwife in Chile, I had a teacher who told us a story of postpartum psychosis* is, where the new mum lived in the country side and managed chickens for a living, and she genuinely believed that her newborn was a chicken and she needed to kill them for food. In a spare of the moment when no one was looking, she separated the head of the body (un-aliving the bby), she told us this story so we can understand the severity of postpartum psychosis and pp depression

Iām Hmong and this shook our community, thank you for covering it. You also did a really good job at pronouncing their names. Thank you
@InWinds
Reading the comments and testimonies in the video from people with seizures, it really seems likely she didn't do this on purpose. Having three children with no history of harm adds to this
@crystalharrington7217
I used to have grand mal seizures due to a medication. I was having a full on conversation with a āblue manā. I even asked my husband to talk to him. Having seizures can definitely make you do wild things that you wonāt remember. I never remembered any of it.

@Murdered_by_designer
I just started watching your videos. The way you explain these stories is like we are friends, sitting out sipping on coffee/tea, and I can feel all the emotions. You express it like you were in the room, like a fly on the wall. Its raw, captivating, and has me waiting for that next sentence.
@CheeSaldivar
Iām Hmong and grew up with an epileptic mother my entire life. Iāve seen her have so many seizures and can confirm she is not the same person right after or even for the rest of day. She will be completely zoned out and in a dazed like state because she is so tired and would not remember anything at all. She would also hallucinate too. One instance that I remember so clearly was her coming out of a seizure while my dad wasnāt home and she kept asking me and my sister when our parents will be back home. I remember being so scared because she was so adamant she was not our mother and sheās just there to watch us. Another time she was convinced she saw people running across our roof and that they shot her in the chest but it was because she had really bad heart burn caused by the seizures. Sheās been seizure free for about a year now thanks to modern medicine and sheās a ray of sunshine! She is so happy all the time and it makes my heart so happy! š„² However, this story is just sad all around. Itās so heartbreaking. š„ŗ
@HeisenbergFam
Babies being born only to die and never have a chance to reach life dreams is depressing
@audreymartinez3181
When she said "won't be the last until we start taking postpartum seriously" that hit hard. It's so so horrible that nobody takes it seriously and that these mommas don't get the proper care it breaks my heart. Im not a mom and I don't know that I will be any time soon but my biggest fear is getting ppd after pregnancy it's a scary horrible thing to experience. And by no means would I ever make excuses for a momma killing her baby but ppd needs to be taken seriously in certain situations in order to help those struggling with it because without proper care and/or diagnosis it can cause some really messed up things.
@Groovy_mama
I once dated someone who had a grand mal seizure, and when the seizure was over, they took off all their clothes and began fighting the paramedics. He had never had a history of seizures before this event and was not violent. He stated he didn't remember anything until waking up in the hospital.
@NiaJustNia
Given in the postictal state the brain goes in zombie automatic mode, like making food or drink, trying to go shopping or do the vacuuming, like disjointed routine things. It's possibly a survival thing, like the brain is trying to recalibrate. Her last thought before the seizure would've been "My kids will be home soon, so I'll have to make them some food when they get back". She has the seizure, is in zombie mode, and her brain has gone "Make food. Am holding food. Microwave. Cook. Remove. Tired. Sleep."
@tashsme
As many others have noted, I too have known a couple of people who had seizures. Their behavior and mental state, especially in one particular friend, was sometimes very altered following these episodes, at times for days. I remember once when he put on a suit, tied his necktie in a perfect knot, and laid down on his bed. He laced his hands together over his midsection, closed his eyes, and calmly informed anyone who spoke to him that he was dead. He remained in that state for hours and was confused for probably a couple of days afterward, after which he had no recollection any of it at all.
@samisangryagain
During my seizures I can shop for random things (including using my card), take a shower in my clothes, travel to a clinic or a hospital, all on autopilot with no memory of it, then take a nap wherever I see fit. It feels like I'm just spawning in random places. Paramedics always think I'm drunk or on drugs and tell me to go home without checking anything, but in postictal phase I always get lost, because I can't read a map or follow instructions well. Paramedics in Poland are the worst.
