Is the treatment effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for epilepsy good?

Patient's question:

How should epilepsy be treated best, Chinese medicine or Western medicine? Please advise the experts, and is there anything else? Thank you. Please advise the experts, thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Regarding epilepsy, the first thing to clarify is whether it is congenital or acquired due to trauma. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine may not be very helpful, and Western medicine may be required for medication control, such as sodium valproate or carbamazepine, which can be helpful. In addition, during the treatment of epilepsy, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from epilepsy.
