A member asked:
I've never had a seizure & don't have family history of epilepsy, but i avoid potentially seizure inducing visuals. is this a totally irrational fear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It seems a bit: irrational to me. I'm not sure if there are visual that could cause a seizure. Consider talking to a psychologist to understand why you are so concerned about having a seizure so that you can get over this fear.
