Patient's question:
7-year-old boy suffering from hereditary epilepsy has been experiencing continuous seizures recently. I would like to know what are the possible causes of this phenomenon?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of epilepsy, with common factors including strong auditory stimuli. When patients are exposed to strong auditory stimuli, they may experience restlessness, palpitations, accelerated heart rate, and an inability to sit or lie still. High mental tension and excessive nervous excitement can directly trigger an episode. Additionally, extreme mental tension, sudden fright, long-term depression, excessive excitement, anger, or sadness can cause mental stress and trauma, creating an internal environment conducive to the onset of seizures. Excessive mental stress can disrupt the body's Qi balance, leading to internal organ disharmony, with sudden fright being a direct cause of the condition.
