How should epilepsy patients be cared for?

Patient's question:

My uncle has epilepsy. He currently has about five or six episodes of it per year. Each episode is a kind of torment for us. It's really heartbreaking to see him like that, and we want to take good care of him. How should epilepsy patients be cared for?

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
It is a pleasure to provide this service. Based on the situation you described, epilepsy patients should first prioritize rest and avoid staying up late. Ensure sufficient deep sleep and prevent negative emotions such as excitement, anger, or frustration. Maintain a calm and stable mood at all times. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Maintain a light, nutritious, and easily digestible diet. Do not overeat or skip meals excessively. Strictly prohibit alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and other stimulating and excitatory beverages. Avoid watching terrifying or stimulating videos. Wishing you good health!
