Treatment for epilepsy?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's wrong with me. Recently, I've been feeling very uncomfortable, and my friend also suffers from epilepsy. He's my best friend, and I feel very painful when I see him have a seizure. How should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

We believe that the best treatment effect for epilepsy is complete cessation or as much as possible control of recurrence. The symptoms of epilepsy in patients are typical of grand mal seizures. Currently, the common treatment methods involve controlling the condition by administering drugs that reduce the excitability of brain cells. Generally, the frequency of recurrence can be reduced, but prolonged use of medication may lead to memory decline, sluggish reactions, abnormal liver and kidney function, and other issues. Currently, epilepsy is not something that cannot be completely prevented from recurring. As long as the treatment method aligns with the pathogenesis of epilepsy and the doctor has extensive clinical experience, it is basically possible to bid farewell to epilepsy attacks.
