Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Is there a genetic issue with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy has a certain genetic component, but this is not an absolute hereditary condition. If epilepsy reoccurs due to many other diseases caused by external factors, this type of epilepsy will not have the possibility of occurring again through intergenerational inheritance. Therefore, it is currently important to identify the primary disease that causes epilepsy in order to clarify the specific pattern of intergenerational inheritance.
