With epilepsy, the application of antiepileptic drugs is one aspect of preventing its seizures, and there is is is the main aspect, but it is important not to neglect non-pharmacological interventions, which can even reduce or not use drugs if applied properly. For different patients, the following options are available for prevention. (1) Non-specific prevention of seizures First of all, it is necessary to determine what factors promote or predispose to the appearance of their seizures, mainly in daily life. According to the current mastery the most common is the disturbance of the sleep-wake cycle, especially the reduction of sleep time, patients may be allowed to sleep for 2 hours less than usual, and those who exceed it are prone to seizures. For primary epilepsy in adolescents, it is especially prone to be triggered by this, therefore, for this type of patients, arranging a good sleep schedule is better than simply using antiepileptic drugs; and for adolescents and adults with their first major seizures, arranging a good sleep schedule is also an important preventive measure. In conclusion, ensuring adequate sleep is essential, while circadian disruptions are not conducive to seizure prevention. In addition, alcohol abuse and stress are also contributing factors. Patients should properly handle and adapt to stress and control or abstain from drinking alcohol. (2) Specific prevention of seizures Mainly in patients with reflex epilepsy, specific triggers are the target of prevention. For example, in patients with primary reading epilepsy, if they read for a long time, they will first have perioral reflex myoclonus, and if they stop reading, they can avoid a grand mal seizure; and in patients with photosensitive epilepsy, their seizures can often be caused by watching TV, movies and flashes in the environment, so wearing sunglasses and sitting farther away when watching TV are good for prevention. If there are also spontaneous seizures, medication is needed. （Some focal seizures, which develop slowly, allow the patient time to take countermeasures to interrupt them, including applying some non-specific methods, such as relaxation; or focusing on another thing; or adopting some specific behaviors, such as clasping the body with the hand, or giving painful stimulation somewhere on the body, which are often combined with antiepileptic drugs. The above methods are secondary prevention of seizures, and because they are non-pharmacological and non-damaging to the patient, they can be effective if used appropriately, even without antiepileptic drugs and with less medication. Therefore, it is important for patients and their families to understand them, discuss and analyze them with the treating physician if necessary, and seek guidance.
