How effective is the drug treatment for epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Daughter is 19 years old. 2 years ago, she was found to have epilepsy. Recently, she has been very agitated and restless, always walking around the house. Her mind is completely vacant, and she does not respond when called by her family. Because she is unconscious, I don't know how effective the epilepsy medication is. How much does it cost approximately?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of epilepsy is primarily based on medication, but the effectiveness of medication is often not ideal. Moreover, the adverse reactions of long-term oral medication prevent some patients from receiving timely and standardized treatment, leading to poor prognosis for epilepsy, especially with non-standardized treatment. In addition to primary epilepsy, the treatment outcomes are also poor. It is important to pay attention to triggering factors as much as possible in daily life. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
