What types of epilepsy are there?

Patient's question:

Yesterday was the night shift, and I had another episode of trembling. About ten minutes later, my eyeballs rolled up, and I was in a dazed state. After that, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. What types of epilepsy are there?

Doctor's answer:

The cause of epilepsy is very complex, and many central nervous system or systemic diseases can lead to epilepsy. Epilepsy patients usually experience sudden seizures, which may cause severe pain throughout the body and other symptoms. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible to undergo a head CT and EEG examination. Follow the doctor's treatment and take antiepileptic drugs promptly. Ensure deep sleep, avoid eating stimulating foods, and develop good habits.
Recurrent psychosis: This includes two types of emotional disorders, such as epilepsy, language disorders, amnesia, sleepwalking, complete distortion of time sensitivity, and emotional disorders including fear, anger, illusions, and hallucinations.
