Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is 9 years old. Today I heard from him that a classmate in his class had a seizure. I would like to ask the doctor how to prevent epilepsy. If no one in the family has this disease, is it generally absolutely impossible to get it?Doctor's answer:
Let's start with epilepsy, this disease. In clinical diagnosis, its cause has not yet been discovered. It is only confirmed to be caused by abnormal neural pulses. Epilepsy is related to mental factors, physical factors, and hereditary factors across generations. If parents have epilepsy, it can also affect their children. Additionally, some neurological injuries, such as head trauma, can also cause it. Besides poisoning, there is little that can be done in terms of prevention.
