Does epilepsy spread to the next generation?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I would like to consult a question. One day, I went to a friend's house, and her mother suddenly fell to the ground, had convulsions all over her body, foamed at the mouth, and lost consciousness instantly. Later, I learned that her mother had epilepsy. Does epilepsy spread? What are the routes of transmission for this disease?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, epilepsy is a chronic disease caused by abnormalities in the brain's nervous system, short circuits in brain nerves, sudden functional disorders of the brain, and so on. In general, if epilepsy is congenital, there may be a possibility of infection. Currently, there is no complete cure for epilepsy, and medication can be used to control it. Epilepsy patients must pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. Moreover, medication requires long-term and regular oral administration, it is necessary to control the patient's emotions, and at the same time, a light diet should be paid attention to.
