Patient's question:
My child's academic performance has always been among the top few in the class. However, last month, he suddenly developed epilepsy, and during a recurrence, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.The kind of help I am seeking: Will practicing under pressure trigger epilepsy?
Doctor's answer:
Due to the pressure of practice and indulgence in computer games, the incidence of epilepsy in adolescents is on the rise. It accounts for 70% of the total outpatient cases of epilepsy. Moreover, around the midterms and final exams, there is a peak in the onset of epilepsy among adolescents, and some parents call in for consultations: Can excessive pressure cause epilepsy? The brains of adolescents are still developing, and if they are in a state of long-term stress, it can easily lead to abnormal impulses in brain nerve cells, resulting in epilepsy symptoms. Can excessive pressure really not cause epilepsy? Clearly, this is something that all parents should understand and spread.
