Patient's question:
Nowadays, it seems like more and more children are suffering from epilepsy. Among my colleagues, there are two children who have mild epilepsy. In fact, their parents don't have any issues, and there were no problems when the children were born. However, the symptoms gradually appeared later. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a disease characterized by recurrent episodes of abnormal electrical discharges in groups of brain neurons, leading to disturbances in activity, sensation, consciousness, mental state, and autonomic nervous function. Its causative factors are numerous, such as trauma and weakened immunity; congenital factors, including generational inheritance; birth injuries, etc. There are many treatment methods for epilepsy, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic approaches also differ. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose patients as soon as possible to prescribe the appropriate treatment.
