Patient's question:
There is a child in my neighbor's house who is quite playful. He is now 11 years old, but this child has epilepsy. However, according to our local perspective, my mother calls this condition "," which sounds quite strange. I'm not sure if this refers to the same illness.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as "sudden wind" or "sheep wind," is the condition you mentioned as "sheep madness." Epilepsy is a chronic clinical diagnostic syndrome of brain dysfunction caused by various different reasons. It is a recurrent, sudden, and repetitive transient dysfunction of the brain's nervous system caused by repeated hyper-synchronous pulses of groups of brain nerve cells, particularly common in children and adolescents. In fact, having epilepsy is not frightening. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
