What are the dangers caused by intermittent epilepsy

The main hazards of intermittent epileptic seizures are the increased risk of accidents, and they can cause brain damage and psychological disorders. 1. Increase the risk of accidents: epileptic seizures do not have a fixed time and pattern, and if the patient has epilepsy while driving, pouring hot water, swimming or being on top of a tall building, it is easy for him to get into a car accident, scalded, electrocuted, drowned or fallen, which can be life-threatening. 2. Brain function damage: when long-term intermittent seizures are not well controlled, they may also damage brain function, causing patients to experience symptoms such as decreased memory and thinking ability. 3. Psychological disorders: some patients also have a sense of shame due to long-term epileptic seizures, resulting in low self-esteem and depression. Epilepsy patients must follow the doctor’s instructions to take medication regularly, can not increase or decrease medication without authorization, and can not engage in high-altitude work and driving-related work.
