Question
When my friend’s child was two years old, they were diagnosed with a possible case of epilepsy. The child’s father has the disease, and the doctor diagnosed it as genetic. However, the doctor also mentioned that epilepsy can also be caused by neonatal injuries.
Answer
Epilepsy is a condition that requires patience and proper treatment methods to manage. While it may present challenges for patients and their families, most cases of epilepsy can be controlled and managed without affecting normal life, including fertility. Treating epilepsy requires persistence from the patient, involving control of seizures, medication reduction, and consolidation of recovery, which usually takes several years or even longer. Maintaining a calm attitude throughout the treatment process and avoiding impatience and inappropriate medical treatment behaviors is crucial.
