How is epilepsy checked?

Patient's question:

A while ago, during a class reunion, a classmate suddenly had a twitch and seemed to be having a seizure. How should a seizure be carefully examined?

Doctor's answer:

If epilepsy occurs again, it can first be inferred from symptoms, such as poor rest, overexertion, or stimulation from various external factors. It could also be a recurrence without any apparent reason, leading to sudden fainting, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth. It is recommended to take antiepileptic medication and undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) and a head CT scan for a thorough examination to diagnose the condition.
