A Quick Overview; Epileptic Seizures Treatment Depends On the Type of Seizures

 

Epileptic seizures treatment involves medicines called anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs), a special diet (ketogenic diet), surgery to remove a small part of the brain that's causing the seizures, and a small electrical device that help control seizures. Epilepsy is categorized as a neurological (central nervous system) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, leading to seizures or abnormal behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness. Epilepsy is usually treated by medication and in some cases by surgery, devices, or dietary changes.

Epilepsy is one of the common chronic neurologic diseases that affects individuals from all age groups. Epilepsy affects millions of people worldwide. Mexico’s Ministry of Health said that according to the World Health Organization, epilepsy affects 50 million people worldwide, while in Mexico there are about two million people affected by this condition. As epilepsy is emerging as an important cause of disability and mortality worldwide, the development and discovery of new epileptic seizures treatment has received considerable attention.

Moreover, the prevalence of epilepsy is higher in men compared to women. The prevalence of focal seizures is higher in both children and adults than that of generalized seizures. Whereas, epileptic seizures are less prevalent in middle-income countries, due to which demand for epileptic seizures from treatment developing regions is high. Lack of advanced medical infrastructure, misdiagnosis, and acute symptomatic seizures are some of the major factors responsible for the high prevalence of epileptic seizures in developing regions.

There are two types of Epileptic Seizures, one type is the non-convulsive seizure where no loss of consciousness occurs and the other type is the convulsive seizure, in which some patients lose consciousness. Both types of epileptic Seizures are very rare, however they can happen with certain types of epilepsy. However, the type of epileptic seizures treatment depends on a few things, such as the type of seizures, age, sex, and other medical conditions. Drugs that work for one person might not work for another. Moreover, there are some potential side effects, such as weight loss, mood changes, trouble thinking, trouble remembering things, trouble talking, clumsiness, rashes, thinning bones, weight gain, dizziness, and tirednessEnable GingerCannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection
