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. How long is the recovery period for autoimmune encephalitis?Doctor's answer:
Autoimmune encephalitis is primarily caused by the abnormal function of autoimmune antibodies, which launch a remote attack on brain function again, leading to the recurrence of abnormal brain symptoms. Recovery from this condition is difficult to predict, and it generally may take 1 to 2 years for a person to fully recover. In the early stages, it is crucial to promptly visit a hospital to receive immunosuppressive treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to appropriate rehabilitation exercises during daily life.
