Patient's question:
Specialized epilepsy treatment hospital? Can epilepsy be contagious? A classmate in my school suffers from epilepsy, and they had a recurrence of this condition before. Will it be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is absolutely not contagious. The primary cause of this disease is genetic and congenital, and it can also be a consequence of post-encephalitis or post-traumatic brain injury. It is recommended that you seek treatment from a regular medical institution, as there is a scientific therapy available for this condition. Patients should pay close attention to their diet, avoiding spicy and pungent foods. For example, seafood, shrimp, beef, and lamb should be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Alcohol, including beer, should not be consumed, and overwork should be avoided.
