Patient's question:
My younger brother just graduated from university this year. He has always been a top student at school and has been a role model for our family at home. He is very well-behaved and filial. However, he suffers from epilepsy. Once, during a very heated argument with his girlfriend on the phone, he hung up, and suddenly had a seizure, falling to the ground and twitching uncontrollably, with foam coming out of his mouth during the epilepsy attack.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Epilepsy (also known as "") is caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. For patients, the greatest harm may be to the brain, especially for children with epilepsy. Their bodies and brains are still in the stage of growth and development. At this time, repeated episodes of epilepsy can be extremely serious for them. There are many factors that can trigger epilepsy, such as lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, and drinking beer. Emotional disturbances like extreme joy, extreme sadness, or shock can also interfere. Epilepsy is a disease that is difficult to recover from. Friends with epilepsy should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as this can only boost their confidence in combating epilepsy.
