Patient's question:
My child doesn't know how he contracted epilepsy. The seizures usually don't occur at fixed times; they can suddenly happen even when everything is fine. Whenever a seizure occurs, he experiences convulsions in his hands and feet, especially when playing. I want to understand if epilepsy patients need psychological therapy. What kind of help is needed: Do epilepsy patients need psychological therapy?Doctor's answer:
Epileptic patients do not necessarily all need psychological therapy. Only some patients may fail to understand that they have epilepsy again, leading to psychological issues such as low self-esteem, which interfere with the treatment of epilepsy. If the patient does not have these conditions, there is no need to see a psychologist. These are all individual cases. The above suggestions are for the question "Do epilepsy patients need psychological therapy?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
