Patient's question:
How is epilepsy formed? What kind of disease is epilepsy after all?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a disease caused by paroxysmal, hypersynchronous abnormal discharges of neuronal groups in the brain due to various causes, leading to episodic abnormalities in motor, sensory, cognitive, mental, and vegetative nerve functions. It is important to avoid fatigue and ensure adequate sleep. Adults should get at least 7-9 hours of sleep per day, while children should get at least 8-16 hours. Engage in moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Avoid swimming, mountain climbing, diving, and try not to ride bicycles to prevent falls during seizures or traffic accidents. Watch less TV and avoid playing electronic games.
