Patient's question:
A friend of mine has recently been feeling unwell physically, and sometimes a bit mentally unstable. He's been acting erratic lately, and it's unclear what he might have suffered. He used to be cheerful and talkative, a perfectly normal person, but now, in the blink of an eye, he's become like this. Some people say he has epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent abnormal pulses of brain neurons, leading to endocrine dysfunction in brain function. The principle of drug treatment is to start medication early, use sufficient dosage, take the medication accurately, and maintain a long duration. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, medication should be started immediately to control recurrence. The dosage should be sufficient to control epilepsy without recurrence and without further drug toxic reactions, and blood drug concentration tests may be performed if necessary.
