It is recommended to undergo antiepileptic treatment.
The treatment of epilepsy mainly includes drug therapy and surgical therapy.
Drug therapy involves administering standardized antiepileptic drugs based on a confirmed diagnosis. Most epilepsy can be cured or controlled through standardized drug treatment, while only a small portion of epilepsy is drug-resistant.
