Most patients with epilepsy will have a satisfactory life with medication and seizure control, but some patients may develop serious psychosocial problems. Deep-rooted social prejudice and discriminatory public attitudes toward people with epilepsy often create a serious psychological burden for patients and families, reducing the quality of life for patients and family members. Understanding the basics of epilepsy would be beneficial to patients. For centuries, the symptoms of epilepsy have been equated with mental retardation and insanity, and epilepsy has been viewed as an unsavory and disgraceful defect, suffering from discrimination and misunderstanding to a greater extent than mental illness. With the progress of society and the popularization of epilepsy science, people began to understand epilepsy and treat epilepsy patients with a scientific attitude, believing that various prejudices and unfair treatment will gradually be improved. Patients’ misconceptions about epilepsy. In reality, patients themselves also have misconceptions about epilepsy, and of course seizures can cause many problems for patients and their families because they cannot predict when and where they will occur. Due to social prejudice and discrimination, most patients try to cover up their condition and worry about the embarrassment of having a seizure in public and the accidental injury it may cause. This, combined with the fear of the physical and psychological side effects of long-term medication, causes patients to become psychologically overburdened. This situation will soon continue to produce pessimism, loss of confidence in learning and life, especially in patients with intractable epilepsy, and even anorexia. A few patients will go to extremes, as the seizures are not controlled within a short period of time, patients often lose confidence in the treatment and also have doubts about the treatment level of doctors, and non-compliance with medical advice becomes a common phenomenon. The eagerness to be cured often drives patients to easily fall for the tricks of traveling doctors and con artists. Patients and their families often listen to the secret recipes, experimental prescriptions and other package treatment advertising, frequent travel around. According to a survey, 12% of patients in rural areas in China seek medical treatment from doctors or witch doctors. In the end, this leads to economic loss of the family and mental breakdown of the patient. This mentality of the patients has become a fertile ground for the current domestic “liars”, which has been prohibited for a long time. In addition, a significant number of family members have misconceptions about epilepsy. Most epilepsy begins in childhood, and young, ignorant children are not aware of the disease itself, but parents’ attitudes, whether intentional or unintentional, have a great impact on the mentality of the child. Parents often have complex reactions to the diagnosis of epilepsy, shame, anxiety, frustration, and powerlessness, which lead to a depressing atmosphere of mystery and despair in the family. At the same time parents are overly protective of the affected child and are afraid to let the child do anything independently, causing the child to grow up overly dependent on the parents losing the ability to live independently. As a result, the patient’s ability to live is regressed and his or her thinking is infantilized, a psychological and psychiatric disorder that far exceeds the distress caused by autism. When the child is not cured for a long time, some parents go from one extreme to another, lose confidence in the child’s future, adopt an attitude of giving up, neither giving the child active treatment, nor educating and guiding the child in all aspects, so that the child gets deeper and deeper in the disease and bad psychological state, making treatment more difficult.
