Will babies with epilepsy get better when they grow up?

Patient's question:

My friend had a baby a few weeks ago, and later they noticed that the baby was getting bigger and sometimes had episodes of. Many people said that the baby might develop epilepsy. We are very worried, but her parents don't want to seek treatment. Will the baby be okay if they grow up with epilepsy? What kind of help is needed: Self-healing epilepsy

Doctor's answer:

There are many methods for treating epilepsy, but many epilepsy patients hold a pessimistic attitude about whether the disease can be cured. It must be noted that the prognosis for the majority of epilepsy cases is relatively good, although there are also a few cases where the epilepsy is difficult to control and the prognosis is not ideal. Epilepsy patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and be patient with long-term treatment. Epilepsy can potentially recur at any time in daily life, and there is a certain chance of being inherited across generations.
