How can epilepsy be treated?

Patient's question:

My sister suffers from epilepsy. When she has a recurrence, she loses consciousness and foams at the mouth, which is very heartbreaking to see. Because of her epilepsy, her boyfriend also left her. It makes me feel very upset. I want to consult a doctor to find out how to cure epilepsy.

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. Currently, there is no particularly effective medication for its treatment. The treatment methods are also limited, primarily focusing on controlling clinical symptoms and reducing the frequency of recurrence. Some types of epilepsy can be treated surgically. People with epilepsy should avoid mental stimulation and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods in their diet. Medications can be taken orally based on the type of epilepsy to control recurrence.
