Question

My son was born without any abnormalities, but at the age of two, his parents noticed that he was different from other children. He would have episodes of mental discontrol after being angered in certain situations.

Answer

Hello, the treatment for epilepsy patients includes antiepileptic medications and treatment for mental disorders. Firstly, the antiepileptic medications should be adjusted to control seizures, which can accordingly alleviate or mitigate behavioral abnormalities. For patients with more pronounced behavioral abnormalities, concurrent medication treatment can be adopted. Additionally, if the current medication treatment is not effective, considering the use of carbamazepine and suggesting a visit to a local specialized hospital for evaluation to determine if surgery is an appropriate treatment option can be considered.
