What are some common mistakes made by people with epilepsy or parents?

  Medical practice shows that epilepsy is a chronic disease that requires long-term regular treatment, and despite the unremitting efforts of scientists worldwide, 10% to 20% of patients still have unsatisfactory treatment results. This is a global medical problem and one of the key topics to be tackled.  The lack of knowledge of epilepsy in epilepsy treatment makes patients or parents often prone to make some mistakes that affect the treatment of epilepsy.  1, can not adhere to the regular, systematic medication. In some patients, the medication treatment goes well, and the seizures are controlled after taking the medication, but the maintenance time is not long, so they think they are cured and take less or miss the medication, resulting in relapse. Other patients, due to unsatisfactory treatment or other reasons caused by seizures, lose confidence in the treatment, or eager to achieve, no longer contact the specialist, increase the dosage or repeatedly change the medication on their own, or even do not take the medication or suddenly stop it.  2. The eagerness to seek medical help and the urgency to seek medical help also brings confusion to the treatment. When the efficacy of the medication is not satisfactory and the seizures are not completely controlled, instead of actively seeking medical advice to find the cause, they run around and keep changing the treatment plan. After the disease and mental pain and suffering, they lose confidence in the treatment and feel that there is little hope for a cure, so they stop taking their own medication.  The actual fact is that the subconscious mind thinks that once you have epilepsy, you are suffering from an incurable disease, and you are lucky to think that you are wrong, and you avoid reality and do not face it positively.   The “trustees” see that the patients are eager to seek medical treatment and lead them astray, and the purpose of the “trustees” is to cheat them out of money.     “The trend of epilepsy treatment is also on the rise. Some of them believe in the “single prescription for a major disease”, which results in poisoning and worsening of the condition. These mistakes can provide opportunities for bad quacks to take advantage of. The actual “pure Chinese medicine” is actually very inexpensive with the addition of sodium phenobarbital (luminal) or sodium phenytoin (dalantin). And the price is unaffordable for many people. It is true that phenobarbital and sodium phenytoin can cure epilepsy, but it is not a panacea that can “cure” all epilepsy, these people should not deceive patients is “pure Chinese medicine”, should not cheat money. The company’s main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public. The dose of this “pure Chinese medicine” is also inaccurate and prone to poor efficacy or poisoning. The chance of adverse reactions to the older western drugs they add is also relatively high.
