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. Can you please tell me if epilepsy affects a person's lifespan?Doctor's answer:
Although I didn't study too seriously when I was in school, after training, I wanted to practice more to enrich my skills and knowledge, which is a very good thing. Sometimes, I also read some medical books to learn about epilepsy, which is also known as "" in our medical terminology. In this case, mild epilepsy has little impact on a person's lifespan, but if it frequently recurs, it can cause significant brain damage, leading to premature intellectual and economic decline, affecting lifespan.
