Epilepsy, commonly known as “sheep epilepsy” or “lamb madness”. Epilepsy is a chronic disease in which sudden abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain cause transient brain dysfunction. It can manifest as seizures of motor, sensory, vegetative, consciousness, and mental disorders due to the location of the abnormally discharged neurons. Epilepsy is a common chronic disease of the pediatric nervous system, characterized by seizures, recurrence, stereotypy and usually self-limiting. The latest statistics show that the total number of epilepsy patients in China has reached 9 million, with a prevalence rate of about 7‰ and 400,000 new cases per year. The new trend of epilepsy in China is that the incidence of epilepsy is closely related to age, with the highest incidence in childhood and a higher incidence in infancy. Epilepsy is a chronic disease that severely affects the physical and mental health and growth of the affected children, affecting their quality of life and imposing a heavy burden on their families and society. 40% of patients can develop behavioral, neurological and intellectual disorders. Therefore, once epilepsy is diagnosed, parents may panic, become pessimistic and disappointed, and are afraid to face the reality. Some parents are also in a hurry to seek medical help, believing in wild advertisements and so-called prescriptions, hoping to get rid of the problem once and for all, with predictable results. Therefore, it is important to understand epilepsy correctly. The most important thing is that you should be able to get the proper treatment under the guidance of a specialist to overcome the disease and let your child grow up healthy!
