Patient's question:
Friends often experience general discomfort, irritability, emotional depression, poor mental state, frequently complaining and being critical of others. In severe cases, it may also involve muscle spasms, accompanied by dull eyes and dizziness and nausea. Is this the initial symptom of epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Before determining the treatment method for epilepsy, it is essential to understand the patient's actual condition and adopt a syndrome differentiation and treatment approach based on their symptoms. Epilepsy is a chronic disease, and if not well-controlled, it can last for years. However, the prognosis for most epilepsy patients is generally favorable. Epilepsy patients should always maintain an optimistic attitude and must adhere to long-term treatment. Medication should be gradually reduced after a prolonged period of symptom relief (at least 2 years or more). In most cases, long-term medication is necessary, and standardized treatment can increase the frequency of recurrence. Therefore, epilepsy can be self-cured, effectively alleviating the progression of the condition.
