The prevalence of epilepsy is about 1%, which means that out of 100 people in the population, there must be 1 person with epilepsy, which is a common and frequent disease. The chance of having one to several epilepsy episodes in a lifetime is as high as 5%, and 39% of epilepsy patients have a tendency to spontaneous remission, so not every epilepsy patient needs medication. Generally speaking, those with more than two seizures in six months should be medicated once the diagnosis is clear. Those who have a first seizure or one seizure more than six months apart should communicate with the patient and, according to the wishes of the patient and family, may or may not use antiepileptic drugs. 3. There is a 70-80% chance that newly diagnosed patients with epilepsy will have their epilepsy controlled by taking an antiepileptic drug. 4. Women with epilepsy still have more than a 90% chance of delivering a normal fetus! 5. Mothers with primary epilepsy have a 3% risk of their children changing to epilepsy, which is significantly higher than the 1% prevalence in the general population. Fathers with epilepsy do not appear to affect these risks. 6. After taking antiepileptic drugs, there is a 30% recurrence rate after tapering off the drugs if they are seizure-free and have a normal EEG for 2 years. 7. All classical antiepileptic drugs can cause abnormal fetal development, but the chances are no higher than with other drugs, so it is not recommended to change drugs if seizure control is satisfactory. 8. Of course, monotherapy is best used in pregnancy.
