It is scary to see, particularly if you don't realize what's happening. I must have been pretty resilient as a kid. The things I saw where I was working were heart-wrenchingly sad, but I was able to get past it and work with some of these people in accordance with their abilities. (I was in recreational therapy. I'd bring my guitar and teach them songs. We'd play games. Things like that.) My dad wanted to be a volunteer. He walked through the place once or twice and ended up leaving in tears. That always blew my mind. Today I understand that. At the time, I couldn't fathom why he always reacted that way.

I had 2 seizures when a senior in high school and was on medication. All tests were negative and I have never has another one in all these years. I suspect they were caused by severe dieting (400 calories a day). A friend's daughter had one and her doctor in Chicago said they were far more common in the Midwest, reason unknown. She is fine too. Many of these are blips on the screen of life but, because of their potential for disaster, have to be looked at closely.
