Is the onset of epilepsy harmful to people?

Patient's question:

My colleague recently had a seizure at home. I want to ask the doctor, how serious are the risks of epilepsy recurrence to a person?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the most common type of epilepsy is grand mal seizures. Grand mal seizures are characterized by symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, twitching of the limbs, and loss of consciousness. If intervention is not implemented during a recurrence, it can easily lead to injuries such as tongue bites or head injuries from sudden falls. Therefore, the harm to the human body is relatively significant. It is recommended to actively use antiepileptic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and during the remission period of the condition, it should be monitored by a designated person.
