Patient's question:
The child is only 2 years old, and I am very worried that epilepsy will affect his future intellectual development.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy can cause damage to the brain tissue structure, metabolic abnormalities, and more in children; lead to accidental death in children; cause memory impairment, intellectual decline; result in various adverse psychological effects, such as aloofness, rebelliousness, self-neglect, depression, and anxiety. Children with epilepsy cannot receive education normally and fall behind their peers in various aspects of development.
