The majority of children with a clear diagnosis of epilepsy must be cured with long-term regular antiepileptic drugs, but very few children with benign epilepsy can heal themselves without medication. The most common benign childhood seizures are of three types: 1) benign juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, which often starts in adolescence and manifests as myoclonic jerking of the limbs, often in the morning and at noon, and can resolve on its own; 2) benign familial neonatal epilepsy, which usually starts 2-3 days or weeks after birth and manifests as frequent convulsive seizures, most of which stop within three weeks and can therefore also resolve on their own; 3) benign pediatric affective epilepsy, which is a chronic disease. The main symptoms are panic, shouting, and also autonomous chewing and swallowing-like movements, and the seizures usually stop by the age of 15. These three types of disorders generally do not require medication and can heal on their own. Therefore, the diagnosis of childhood epilepsy must also clarify the type of seizure before deciding whether medication is needed and the type of medication to be taken.
