How to control epilepsy well?

Patient's question:

05 February had convulsions while sleeping, afterward every 2 to 3 months once, August was diagnosed with epilepsy, took Depakine for 5 months without recurrence, later it became frequent again, August last year added Topamax, 2 months later it recurred again, during which the child's memory significantly declined and began to gain weight.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of epilepsy mainly includes drug therapy and surgical therapy; drug therapy involves administering standardized antiepileptic drugs based on a clear diagnosis. Most cases of epilepsy can be cured or effectively controlled through standardized drug treatment. Only a small portion of epilepsy cases are drug-resistant epilepsy; surgical treatment is generally used for drug-resistant epilepsy. Epilepsy patients should strictly avoid extreme hunger or overeating. Do not overeat or binge drink: avoid fatigue and ensure adequate sleep. Adults should aim for at least 7-9 hours of sleep per day. Drink plenty of water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
