Patient's question:
I would like to ask about epilepsy. How is it treated? My mental illness has been going on for about three years. It was triggered after my child passed away, and during a recurrence of epilepsy, I experienced convulsions and foaming at the mouth. I took some medication and visited several hospitals, but nothing seemed to help. I would like to consult further.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a disease caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. The patient may suddenly experience loss of consciousness, foaming at the mouth, and of the mouth and eyes. Such symptoms may last for a few minutes to a few seconds and then stop on their own. It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital's neurology department for proper treatment, as the treatment period for chronic epilepsy may be relatively long.
