Untreated epilepsy can easily lead to persistent status epilepticus and can easily be killed by accidents such as traumatic brain injury, fractures, and car accidents. The exact length of time a patient will live cannot be determined and is related to the number of seizures and other factors. If epilepsy is not treated, the number of seizures will become more frequent, even leading to intractable epilepsy. In addition, seizures are usually more sudden and may lead to serious secondary injuries such as traumatic brain injury, car accidents, drowning, and fractures; they may also cause ischemia and hypoxia in the brain, resulting in brain damage and tonicity of the respiratory and laryngeal muscles, causing the patient to suffocate and endangering his or her life. Therefore, the appearance of epilepsy is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner, and early treatment has a better prognosis, thus avoiding accidents and affecting the life expectancy of patients. In addition, because epilepsy is a chronic disease, it requires continuous, full course of medication after diagnosis and cannot be stopped on its own to prevent triggering seizures, so the treatment time is long and patients need to be patient.
