What is the reason for the child's reduced speech after being diagnosed with epilepsy?

Patient's question:

My child used to be very lively and energetic, and he loved playing with other kids a lot. But since he got epilepsy, he has become quieter and more introverted. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Any disease can have a certain impact on a person's psychology, especially children, whose psychological tolerance is relatively low. Once they suffer from epilepsy, the characteristics of depression in patients become more pronounced, the psychological burden increases, they become gloomy and unhappy, and their mood becomes low. If this continues for a longer period, it may develop into a more severe mental depression. Therefore, it is necessary to provide early, standardized, and systematic treatment. As long as the treatment is timely and the correct treatment method is chosen, many patients can still be completely controlled and cured.
