Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have a close friend who is 23 years old. Recently, she found out that she has epilepsy and is about to start treatment. So, I want to understand here how epilepsy is best treated? Is there a chance for a complete cure?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a condition that is absolutely not curable, as it is caused by abnormal brain impulses. Due to the inability to pinpoint the exact location, surgery cannot be used to remove it. However, surgery can also trigger seizures. Therefore, typical patients can only achieve treatment effects by using sedative and sleep-inducing drugs, which increase brain excitement and abnormal impulses.
