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. Could you please ask what causes epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Recently, my family member was diagnosed with epilepsy after experiencing tics. Epilepsy has a certain genetic factor across generations, but it's not entirely hereditary; it's caused by abnormal brain impulses. Neurology EEG tests are required, and it's recommended to actively treat it with anti-epileptic medication. Daily, it's advised to eat more fruits and vegetables, supplement vitamins, exercise more, maintain sufficient deep sleep, and have regular follow-up checks to adjust medication dosage as needed.
