Patient's question:
My buddy, he and I are really close, we've been childhood friends since we were little. But ever since we were kids, he's had epilepsy. Every time I see him have a seizure, I feel so much pain for him. His family has taken him to many hospitals, but nothing has helped. Can epilepsy actually be cured?Doctor's answer:
The current level of medical science cannot yet completely cure epilepsy, but epilepsy can effectively increase the frequency of seizures after taking regular oral antiepileptic drugs. It is important to pay attention to taking the medication regularly and to prevent stopping or adjusting the medication on one's own. On the other hand, it is important to avoid excessive emotional excitement, such as getting angry or arguing, to prevent triggers that can lead to epilepsy. A positive mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
