How should adolescent epilepsy be treated

summary

My neighbor Lele has just been promoted to junior high school this year. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was a naughty boy. On weekdays, he was lively and bouncing. It's just that every time he's out playing, his mother always looks at him with a deep, depressed look, as if to say it's a crime. I didn't know that Lele was suffering from epilepsy until I saw him twitch and fall to the ground foaming. Now let's understand how to treat juvenile epilepsy.

How should adolescent epilepsy be treated

1. First: epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "epilepsy", is a chronic disease in which the sudden abnormal discharge of brain neurons leads to transient brain dysfunction. According to the latest epidemiological data in China, the overall prevalence of epilepsy in China is 7 per thousand, with an annual incidence of 28.8/ 100 thousand, and the incidence rate of active epilepsy in 1 years is 4.6 per thousand.

Second: some patients with generalized tonic clonic seizures have seizures after waking up in the morning and in the evening, which is called wake-up epilepsy; some patients have seizures after sleeping and before waking up, which is called sleep epilepsy; both wake-up and sleep are called irregular epilepsy. The latter is mostly symptomatic epilepsy. Infantile spasm often occurs before falling asleep and after waking up, and the absence attack is mostly in the awakening period.

Third: although some types of epilepsy are difficult to control, about half of the epilepsy patients who take medicine on time can completely prevent seizures; another 30% of the patients have fewer seizures than before; the remaining 20% of the patients have not been controlled after taking medicine for unknown reasons. In some places, there are special epilepsy treatment centers, which sometimes help those patients who take antiepileptic drugs or have adverse side effects.

matters needing attention

Because there is a general misunderstanding of epilepsy, that the disease is very terrible and no medicine to treat. In fact, the disease can be effectively controlled by drug treatment, and it will not recur after a good recovery. As long as people actively and seriously treat epilepsy, it can also be cured.
