Can epilepsy be detected through an electroencephalogram (EEG)?

Patient's question:

Hello, my child has been diagnosed with epilepsy. Can epilepsy be detected through an electroencephalogram (EEG)? Is there a good solution? Please give some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the following are mainly considered. One is that most people can do it, and the other part cannot. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis. Epilepsy can be diagnosed through routine electroencephalography to detect epileptic waves. Additionally, electroencephalography topography and magnetoencephalography can also detect this condition, all of which are very difficult to diagnose. Once diagnosed, it is necessary to use antiepileptic drugs in a timely manner.
