Which treatment is effective for epilepsy?

Patient's question:

I had it when I was a child, and it got better after taking medicine; but recently it has flared up again, and it recurs once a day, each time lasting only 1 minute, but without spitting foam

Doctor's answer:

Psychological factors: Some patients may experience epilepsy seizures during intense emotional movements, mental excitement, fright, calculations, playing chess, or card games, which is known as psychological reflex epilepsy. These are also causes that can trigger epilepsy. Fever, excessive drinking, hyperventilation, alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, overwork, and hunger are also causes of epilepsy. Certain medications or abrupt withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs can also lead to epilepsy seizures. For patients, if the condition of epilepsy is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to help alleviate the condition. I hope the answers provided above can help everyone. Thank you.
