Question
A 12-year-old boy developed epilepsy due to a high fever that was not treated in time as a child, leading to psychological shadows and a reluctance to communicate with others. The parents are asking how to help their child overcome these psychological shadows.
Answer
Medical professionals suggest increasing care, promoting the preventability and treatability of epilepsy, having heart-to-heart talks with the child to build friendship, and helping them acknowledge their condition to actively accept treatment, thereby reducing psychological burden. At the same time, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek treatment early to avoid the adverse effects that the deterioration of epilepsy may bring.
