Patient's question:
Before my daughter went back to school, she had another episode of seizures at school. She had never had a situation like this before, and the condition was quite severe. Her limbs twitched, her eyes rolled back, and it took nearly 5 or 6 minutes for her to regain consciousness. After waking up, she had no memory of what happened. Some people said it was epilepsy, while others called it "seizures." I don't understand any of this.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as, is a chronic brain disease characterized by recurrent, repetitive, and transient dysfunction of the central nervous system caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. The human brain possesses two opposing forces: one that blocks pulses and another that enhances pulses. Under normal circumstances, these two forces maintain a good balance. When the force of enhancing pulses becomes too strong or the force of blocking pulses weakens, this balance is disrupted, leading to abnormal pulses and consequently triggering clinical epilepsy seizures. For severe epilepsy patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome. The above suggestions are for reference only.
