Patient's question:
I have been suffering from epilepsy since last year. At that time, the treatment lasted about a year, but after it seemed to improve, the seizures started again. It has been recurring for a long time. I also heard from a friend that this disease doesn't get better. At that time, I was so heartbroken that I even thought about dying. How long does it take to cure epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease. If it is not treated promptly and effectively, it can last for several years, or even a lifetime. A large amount of data has shown that patients who have not been treated before have a high rate of improvement after their first understanding of systematic and standardized treatment. Those with a long history of chronic epilepsy have a poor prognosis. Early treatment is better than late treatment, and the younger the age of onset, the worse the prognosis. Especially for those who start before the age of one, in addition to treating epilepsy, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
