Is epilepsy the same as epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is epilepsy the same as epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, epilepsy is the same as epilepsy, which is an abnormal electrical discharge in the brain, causing temporary brain dysfunction. There are many causes of this condition, mainly including hereditary factors across generations, parasitic diseases of the brain and head, occupying diseases, and trauma with skin abrasions. In terms of treatment, the main approach is to actively take antiepileptic drugs, requiring long-term medication. For those who meet the criteria for surgery, it is recommended to prepare actively for the procedure. It is advised to eat less spicy and irritating foods and maintain a light diet.
