Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 45 years old. Two days ago, I had another episode of confusion and mania. My family took me to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was diagnosed as symptomatic epilepsy syndrome. What is the cause of symptomatic epilepsy syndrome? Is there any good medicine to control it? Please let me know, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Symptomatic epilepsy syndromes are usually epilepsy with clear etiology, primarily caused by brain-related issues or abnormal catabolism. Therefore, treatment is mainly based on administering antiepileptic drugs according to the different types of epilepsy seizures. Currently, it appears that your condition is more likely to be absence seizures, so treatment should focus on medications specifically for treating absence seizures. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
