Question
A 9-year-old child has had epilepsy for four years and the condition has not been cured. The inquiry is about which hospital and doctor has professional experience in treating epilepsy.
Answer
Epilepsy is a chronic condition that, if not properly controlled, may persist for many years or even decades. Many patients hold a pessimistic attitude towards whether the disease can be cured. However, it must be emphasized that the prognosis for most epilepsy patients is good, although there are also a few cases of epilepsy that are difficult to control and have an unfavorable prognosis. Patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and adhere to long-term treatment until the condition has been relieved for many years before considering discontinuing medication.
