My 14 yr daughter has been having the blank staring seizures but i know its happening because she starts talking random and repeating the same thing over and over again what does that mean and what can i do?

Needs EEG: You describe what can be absence events. These are best diagnosed by eeg. Best to catch one of her events during the eeg. With the results a neurologist can then recommend appropriate treatment. They sound somewhat complex. Probably flaring up due to onset of puberty. Fairly common problem.
