Patient's question:
I'd like to ask the doctor, how long after epilepsy does the patient's intelligence improve? Also, besides taking epilepsy medication, what other effective methods are there to treat this condition? After all, the child is still young, and I don't want him to endure the pain of surgery. Thank you, doctor, for helping to clarify this.What kind of help is needed: How long after epilepsy does the patient's intelligence improve? Thank you, doctor, for helping to clarify this.
Doctor's answer:
Epileptic patients are generally of good intelligence, but as the condition progresses, their intelligence deteriorates rapidly, leading to the re-emergence of many cognitive impairments such as memory loss, which brings great difficulties to their survival and training. The recurrence of this phenomenon is also associated with the relapse of epilepsy. If the frequency of epilepsy attacks is high, the duration of relapse is long, and the severity of relapse is significant, then the cognitive dysfunction becomes more pronounced.
