Patient's question:
My aunt is ambitious, but she has never been able to achieve her goals. She has been in a state of suppression, and in recent years, her mental state has become somewhat unbalanced. Sometimes she experiences fainting and convulsions. After a thorough examination, the doctor said it was epilepsy and a mental issue. What are the characteristics of epilepsy? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it should be considered that there may be a mental symptom as the basis, or it could also be a manifestation of an epileptic seizure. Therefore, in the current situation, it is important to actively adjust one's emotions and stabilize one's mental state, which may have a better effect on the complete recovery from the illness. If it is considered to be epilepsy, oral antiepileptic drugs can also be considered for treatment. Generally, epilepsy attacks are primarily characterized by convulsions of the limbs accompanied by loss of consciousness.
