Patient's question:
I am a patient with epilepsy. Recently, my health has been very poor, and my appetite is not good either. I often have seizures, and my spirits are low. I have been taking medication, but it is not effective. I am very worried. I have heard that this condition is an incurable disease. Here, I kindly ask the experts for clarification.Doctor's answer:
Patients with epilepsy personality disorder lack a stable personality structure, exhibiting immaturity and a tendency toward guilt. Personality changes are more common in patients with grand mal seizures, particularly those with temporal lobe epilepsy. Epileptic personality change is the result of a multifactorial evaluation, generally believed to be influenced by social psychological factors, organic brain damage, seizure types, long-term use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), and the patient's existing personality traits.
