Is refractory epilepsy incurable?

Patient's question:

I have been treating epilepsy for a long time. The doctor said it is refractory. Hello, is refractory epilepsy incurable?

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy is a very difficult condition to self-heal, a type of neurological inflammation. Most forms of epilepsy cannot be cured throughout a lifetime, and it is necessary to rely on consistently taking antiepileptic drugs to control it. However, some mild epilepsy patients can recover through medication or other lifestyle adjustments. Doctors say that if your epilepsy is considered refractory, it doesn't necessarily mean it is completely incurable. It is essential to cooperate with your doctor's treatment and maintain a positive mood, always keeping a good attitude and a proactive treatment mindset.
