Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Is epilepsy a hereditary disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, epilepsy has certain high-risk triggers, but it does not possess a typical genetic disorder. This is due to abnormal pulses in brain cells, leading to abnormal activities in the controlled regions. In this case, medication can be considered to suppress the condition, or gamma knife treatment can be used to identify the specific location of the abnormal pulse lesions, followed by surgical intervention for treatment. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
