Question
Can birth injuries in newborns lead to epilepsy, and can it affect normal life?
Answer
Epilepsy is a disease that tests one’s willpower. Apart from a few difficult-to-treat cases, most can be controlled, without affecting normal life or childbearing, and allowing for a normal family life. However, epilepsy is particularly challenging. Both patients and their families need to have enough patience to fight against the disease, adopt correct treatment methods, bravely face three challenges – controlling seizures, reducing or stopping medication, and consolidating recovery – and maintain confidence over a period of three to five years, even up to eight or ten years. It is crucial to stay calm and determined. The consequences of seeking quick cures or taking inappropriate medicine are unimaginable.
