Patient's question:
I have epilepsy. My head used to be concave due to a car accident. I have taken many medications, and I really want to know a lot about epilepsy. I really hope to cure this disease and improve my mood and mental state.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a chronic disease. If not well-controlled, it can last for several years, or even decades. For this reason, many epilepsy patients hold a pessimistic attitude towards whether the disease can be cured. It must be noted that the prognosis is generally good for the majority of epilepsy cases. Of course, there are also a very small number of cases that are difficult to control, with an unsatisfactory prognosis. Epilepsy patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and must persist in long-term treatment. The medication should be gradually reduced and stopped only after a longer period of remission (at least 2 years or more).
