The causes of epilepsy mainly include some congenital factors, such as pathological changes during pregnancy or childbirth, which can lead to the occurrence of epilepsy in children. In adults, epilepsy is generally secondary to severe head trauma, cerebrovascular disease, intracranial tumors, encephalitis, etc. Therefore, for patients with epilepsy, it is first necessary to actively remove various inducements and then to treat according to the type of epileptic seizures. Epilepsy mainly includes generalized seizures and partial seizures. Patients with generalized epileptic seizures can take medications such as sodium valproate and diazepam for treatment. Patients with partial epileptic seizures can take medications such as carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, gabapentin, and levetiracetam for treatment. Generally, the symptoms of epilepsy can be effectively controlled after patients follow a standardized medication treatment regimen.
