Due to the lack of understanding and fear of epilepsy, people with epilepsy are likely to be ostracized by some fields and groups, especially in social interactions, and may encounter various hardships in their studies and work, making people with epilepsy often have low self-esteem and a sense of despair. Parents of children with epilepsy also often worry about whether their child’s future will no longer be bright because of epilepsy after they learn of it. Some people think that having epilepsy is the end of their lives. Remember, epilepsy is a treatable disease. As long as it is diagnosed and treated correctly and in a timely manner, most patients will not be affected by their growth and development, receive a good education, perform their jobs competently and enjoy a fulfilling family life. Many famous people in history have suffered from epilepsy, including Julius Caesar of Rome, Napoleon of France, Van Gogh, Dostoevsky, Lenin, Wang Xizhi, the great calligrapher of China, Joan of Arc, Nobel, Socrates, Byron, Dickens, Mohammed, the founder of Islam, and many others. . In spite of their epilepsy, they did not affect their great achievements. In today’s society, there are people with epilepsy among the elite in all walks of life. Even if you have epilepsy, you still have the opportunity to succeed through hard work, which requires the patient and his or her family to be strong and optimistic. Most people with epilepsy are like normal people when they are not having seizures. About 70%-80% of patients can control or reduce the number of seizures and reduce the degree of seizures through individualized, rational and standardized medication, so that they can live, study and work like healthy people. Some patients with childhood onset “benign epilepsy” can be cured without treatment. In about 20-30% of patients whose seizures cannot be controlled with medication, some of these patients may be considered for formal surgical treatment. Ultimately, only a minority of patients have seizures that are extremely difficult to control and are associated with physical disability and mental retardation. Overall, epilepsy is one of the treatable neurological disorders, and as science advances, the percentage of patients whose seizures can be completely controlled will increase. It is now internationally accepted that patients with epilepsy who have been seizure-free for 10 years and who have been off medication for more than 5 years can be classified as having “no epilepsy”, i.e., cured. The prognosis of epilepsy is influenced by a number of factors: 1. 2, with obvious organic brain injury and neuropsychiatric disorders, the prognosis is poor; those without organic brain lesions have a better prognosis. The prognosis of traumatic epilepsy is also determined by the nature, location and severity of the trauma. The prognosis is better for patients who only have seizure-like episodes in the acute phase of head trauma and no more seizures later. The prognosis for epilepsy caused by traumatic brain injury is relatively good with timely treatment. 4, epilepsy after encephalitis or meningitis, more than half of the patients, seizures can be completely relieved. However, the prognosis is not good for those with severe post-encephalitis or meningitis with frequent epileptic seizures. It is important to note that the shorter the time between onset and initiation of treatment, the better the outcome and the better the prognosis. It is generally accepted that the best time for treatment is within 2 years of onset; the possibility of seizure control decreases when treatment is started after 2 years of persistent seizures; and those who have been onset to start treatment for more than 5 years have a worse prognosis and a lower possibility of seizure control. Also, the prognosis will be different with different treatment methods. Therefore, try to choose a regular hospital with experienced doctors for early and correct diagnosis and treatment to reduce the adverse consequences caused by improper treatment.
