Is epilepsy a crime that can lead to imprisonment?

Patient's question:

Will epilepsy be charged with a serious crime?

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy does not have a mental illness. When epilepsy patients have a recurrence, it generally does not lead to serious incidents happening again. Epilepsy recurrences are usually quite typical. After a recurrence of epilepsy, the patient's mental state is normal, and they have control over their actions. If an epilepsy patient commits a serious crime, they also need to face legal consequences and bear additional legal responsibilities independently. Epilepsy is not a mental illness.
