Patient's question:
When I was in high school, there was a boy who was once my deskmate. He had epilepsy, and his life wasn't particularly convenient either. He often had seizures, and I took very good care of him. It is said that his epilepsy has not yet been cured. Do you have any good methods for treating epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy primarily focuses on controlling seizures, as epilepsy can be either primary or secondary. Primary epilepsy generally requires lifelong medication, as it is a relatively difficult condition to gradually treat. Secondary epilepsy can be treated by controlling symptoms and gradually reducing the dosage to the minimum level while carefully monitoring for any recurrence. If no recurrence occurs, medication can be discontinued. However, the treatment should be tailored to the individual's specific condition.
