Patient's question:
Will patients with recurrent epilepsy lose their memory? I am 26 years old and have epilepsy, and I have been treated for 4 years. Does this condition interfere with memory? I notice that sometimes I forget things very easily.Doctor's answer:
When the auditory illusion recurs, others' conversations with oneself seem as if there is a wall between them. With visual illusions, one feels as if what they see is covered with a veil. They observe the ground as undulating and uneven, and objects appear completely distorted. In addition to visual magnification and visual reduction, hallucinations are also common symptoms. Moreover, some patients experience a sense of illusion about their surroundings and people at the time, as if they are dreaming. The daily treatment for epilepsy patients primarily involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take various oral medications, complemented by a combination of vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, maintaining a proper diet, and avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that epilepsy patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
