Is Behçet's disease a terminal illness?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't good either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. Is Beh?et's disease a terminal illness?

Doctor's answer:

Behcet's disease is not a terminal illness. This disease can cause the body's immune system to become excessively active, leading to various complications. However, with effective treatment, it can be completely controlled. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively. If various complications reappear, it is essential to detect and treat them early. Hormone-based medications can also be used to suppress symptom progression, and timely treatment can lead to a cure. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
