Is traumatic left temporal lobe epilepsy refractory?

Patient's question:

I would like to consult a doctor about whether traumatic left temporal lobe epilepsy is refractory and whether it can heal on its own. Since my brother was in a car accident, everything has changed again. It's not just the accident itself, but it also triggered traumatic left temporal lobe epilepsy in my brother, causing certain troubles for him and the family. For this reason, I would like to consult on how to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, the car accident led to the development of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disease caused by abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. Due to the car accident, abnormal electrical impulses were triggered, resulting in epilepsy. It is recommended that you persist in taking oral antiepileptic drugs, maintain a relaxed mindset, avoid excessive tension and anxiety, and lead a regular life. If the patient's condition is severe, surgical treatment can be considered as a therapeutic option.
