Patient's question:
Do people with epilepsy have violent rebellious tendencies? I have a relative who suffers from epilepsy. Sometimes, during an epileptic seizure, it is not well-controlled, and they experience body tremors and loud shouting. I don't know if they might hit someone.Doctor's answer:
First-time treatment requires hospitalization. After stabilization, patients can return home to take oral medication for treatment. The treatment of epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: controlling recurrence, treating the cause, surgical treatment, general hygiene, and prevention. The most important aspect is controlling recurrence, which is currently based on medication. Epilepsy is currently difficult to heal completely on its own, and it is recommended to undergo a thorough examination to confirm the condition of epilepsy. Assess how skilled the surgical treatment is to assist in self-healing. In cases where it is not suitable, continuous medication is mainly used to maintain the condition.
