Patient's question:
The 12-year-old child next door has had epilepsy for several years and has not been cured yet. They have visited many major hospitals, but the results have not been very good. They are still taking medication, but they still have occasional relapses. Now they can't even go to school. I vaguely remember that there was an adult woman in the village who had epilepsy but was cured and has not had a recurrence since. Is this disease the same for adults and children?Doctor's answer:
Experts in epilepsy treatment believe that pediatric epilepsy is basically similar to adult epilepsy, with the main difference being the type of epilepsy. Pediatric epilepsy is primarily based on primary epilepsy, accounting for 70% of cases, while adult epilepsy is primarily based on secondary epilepsy. 70% of pediatric epilepsy cases are well-controlled, whereas adult epilepsy is more difficult to control. Epilepsy is a disease that is not easily relieved. Friends with epilepsy should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting epilepsy and believe that recovery is certain.
