Epilepsy is a chronic disease that can extend for years or even decades, causing serious adverse effects on the patient’s body, mind, marriage, and socioeconomic status. The treatment of epilepsy is often a constant battle, and we need to maintain the right understanding in order to achieve the best treatment effect. The following misconceptions are extremely detrimental to the treatment of epilepsy: 1. The psychology of eagerness to achieve. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money. 2. Superstitious Chinese medicine prescriptions. Many patients and their families believe in a variety of advertisements, believing that Chinese medicine for epilepsy has small side effects, is effective, and can be eradicated, while western medicine has large side effects and can only control the symptoms, not eradicate the root, wrongly believing that Chinese medicine is better than western medicine for epilepsy. In fact, it has not been proven so far that using one Chinese medicine alone can effectively control epilepsy. Experts have analyzed some of the popular Chinese medicine preparations and found that 95% of them contain one or more western medicine ingredients. Long-term use of such herbal medicines with complex ingredients is an important cause of intractable epilepsy. As for the advertising propaganda that Chinese medicine and prescriptions can cure epilepsy, it is nonsense and purely fraudulent and should not be believed. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual website. The most common mistake of epileptic patients is that they do not take their medication on time, and this is the main reason for their treatment failure. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the family to supervise the patient to take the medication on time, pay attention to the maintenance treatment, the length of time to take the medication, should be according to the doctor’s orders. 4, arbitrary combination of drugs. Many patients and family members believe that the more drugs they use, the better the treatment effect, resulting in repeated medication or unprincipled multi-drug combination, a phenomenon that is more common among epileptic patients. Indeed, antiepileptic drugs, as well as antiepileptic drugs and other drugs can affect each other’s blood concentration, causing a decrease in efficacy. In clinical work, we have encountered patients and family members who, in pursuit of seizure control rate, believe that only complete seizure control is considered effective, so some people use five antiepileptic drugs at one time, or multiple antiepileptic drugs with the same mechanism of action at the same time, ignoring the drug interactions and side effects, to the extent that it affects the patient’s life and study. This multi-drug combination therapy is not as effective as desired. The patient’s life and schooling are not always the same. Many epileptic patients in the initial stage of treatment, after taking drugs for a period of time, once the effect is not satisfactory, they wrongly believe that the drugs used are not effective, and therefore frequent replacement of drugs, is also one of the important reasons for refractory epilepsy. In fact, the treatment of epileptic patients should be individualized, each patient and each type of epilepsy has different sensitivities to drugs, and it takes a relatively long period of time for doctors to adjust to achieve the best results. 6, lack of confidence in the cure. As a result of the lack of effective means to cure epilepsy, patients often need long-term maintenance treatment, coupled with improper medication or other reasons that lead to unsatisfactory control of epilepsy, after suffering from the pain of seizures, many patients and families lose confidence in the cure and control of epilepsy, feeling little hope for a cure and discontinuing their own medication, which is also a more common mistake. In fact, 70% to 80% of patients can get more satisfactory results after standardized and individualized treatment, and some patients are expected to be cured. 7. Ignore psychological intervention. Epilepsy is a neuropsychiatric disease, psychological factors affect its occurrence and development, and the majority of epileptic patients experience repeated seizures, there are varying degrees of psychological disorders, but clinical treatment, many families and even doctors tend to ignore the psychological problems of epileptic patients, so as to affect compliance with treatment, the family should be timely detection, timely intervention, care and encouragement, to eliminate the impact of epilepsy fluctuations The family should detect and intervene in a timely manner, give care and encouragement, and eliminate the psychological factors that affect the fluctuation of epilepsy. 8, ignore the triggering factors. Statistics show that patients have a recurrence rate of 27%-82% after the first seizure, and it seems that most patients will relapse after a single seizure, so while medication is being administered, the triggers of seizure recurrence should be actively controlled in order to achieve the best treatment effect. The common triggers for seizure recurrence are: uncontrolled diet, overeating, hot and cold, alcohol consumption; mental tension, pessimism and disappointment can prompt seizures, strong emotional activity, great sadness, great joy, and fright are common triggers; external environment such as temperature, air pressure, and climate changes can trigger seizures; lack of sleep, excessive fatigue are also common triggers; watching TV, using computer for a long time Long time watching TV, using computer and playing cell phone can trigger seizures.
