Do symptoms of epilepsy vary, and do medications differ accordingly?

Patient's question:

Do different drugs cause different epilepsy symptoms? Last week was my first seizure. At that time, I felt more agitated because of an argument with others and directly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. I was told that this disease cannot be cured. I should pay attention to it. What aspects should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

The patient should avoid ice skating, riding, climbing, high-altitude work, underground work, working in hazardous environments, and engaging in sports that have a significant impact as much as possible. Properly understand epilepsy. Maintain a regular lifestyle and get sufficient deep sleep. Appropriately balance mental and physical labor, actively engage in low-physical-exertion sports to enhance physical fitness. Smoking and drinking are strictly prohibited. Maintain a balanced diet, increase the intake of stimulating and high-energy foods, and prevent hunger or overeating.
