Patient's question:
My cousin is 36 years old this year. A few months ago, after another argument with his girlfriend about divorce, he had a car accident while drinking beer, which led to epilepsy. He has been relying on medication to control it, but it still keeps recurring. Later, he heard from a friend that minimally invasive surgery can help him recover from epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as "" (), is considered a type of cancer in the nervous system due to its complex causes, sudden recurrence, unpredictability, and difficulty in (). It is regarded as one of the world's three incurable diseases. Although there are many places and medications available for treatment currently, most are based on control or conventional therapies, making it impossible to achieve a complete cure. As a result, many patients travel far and wide in search of a cure, only to be left frustrated and without a viable solution.For patients, if the epilepsy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary to prevent further episodes. Additionally, patients must maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions will help everyone. Thank you.
