A small number of people with epilepsy can be weaned (cured) and most epilepsy cannot be weaned (cured). Whether epilepsy can be cured has some individualized differences, and there is a clear correlation with the patient’s age of onset, the type of seizure, and the cause of the seizure. For example, the prognosis for typical childhood absence seizures is favorable, and the frequency of seizures gradually decreases after the patient enters adolescence, and most patients can be cured. Some benign familial epilepsies also have a very good prognosis and can be cured. However, if the patient’s epilepsy is caused by acquired secondary factors, it is difficult to completely eradicate it. For example, some patients will have seizures after brain hemorrhage, and they may need to take anti-epileptic drugs for a long period of time to control the seizures, and it is unlikely that they can be completely cured. If the epilepsy is left behind by viral encephalitis, it is also difficult to completely cure it. Patients with epilepsy should actively cooperate with their doctors to avoid delays.
