What methods can prevent epilepsy?

Patient's question:

My younger cousin has been suffering from chills since childhood, which made him dislike having seizures. Later, it gradually expanded into unconscious twitching of the limbs. In recent times, his condition has somewhat eased, and during episodes, he still foams at the mouth. He was diagnosed with epilepsy and treated for a long time before it was controlled. It hasn't recurred since then.

Doctor's answer:

The prevention of epilepsy is very important. The prevention of epilepsy should be based on three levels: First, it should be based on the cause to prevent the recurrence of epilepsy; second, it should control relapses; third, it should reduce the adverse effects of epilepsy on patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being. Epilepsy patients should be diagnosed promptly and receive early treatment. The earlier the treatment, the smaller the brain damage, the fewer the seizures, and the better the prognosis. In addition to medication for epilepsy treatment, patients also need to pay attention to diet, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
