Patient's question:
I thought the child had epilepsy, so I participated in the Epilepsy Family. The children here are all patients with epilepsy. Parents believe that once it's the weekend or summer vacation, the child will definitely have a seizure, maybe it's all because of gaming.Doctor's answer:
The causes of epilepsy are related to the summer vacation. The pathogenesis of epilepsy is very complex. An imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system leads to epilepsy, primarily involving changes in ion channels, neurotransmitters, and glial cells. Playing games can affect the brain and cause metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, phenylketonuria, uremia, etc. For patients, if the condition of epilepsy is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
