What is the simple, sweet, and to the point diagnosis for epilepsy?

Question

1-4 sentences long, please.

Answer 1

I'm not sure I understand your question. Once a seizure occurs for the first time, a neurologist will conduct a series of tests (electroencephalogram, CAT scan, MRI, and blood studies) to arrive at his diagnosis. Afterward the patient will be placed on a medication regimen to control or lessen the seizure activity. There is no cure for epilepsy yet. Epilepsy can be genetic or the result of brain trauma, brain tumors or as a symptom of other neurological disorders. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

That would depend on if a person was born with it or developed it later in life. I was born with it and have had every kind of seizure,
from grand mal which is where a person blacks out, loses control of every muscle on your body all the way down to petit mal seizures, in which you are aware of everything you're doing
but cannot control anything. There are 3 ways to treat Epilepsy,
1. You can refuse any and all meds and just deal with it. ( I tried
that only to end up breaking my arm after walking out into the street without even knowing it.)
2. You can accept it and take whatever medicine to at least try to control it. ( which doesn't work all the time) or
3. You can have brain surgery done.( which was needed in my case because I had scar tissue on the the left temperal lobe of my brain) I knew having that surgery was a REAL BIG risk but
in my case it worked. Sometimes surgery isn't possible for different reasons. Simply put one part of your brain is trying to send a signal to the other side but, for some reason can't which
causes some sort of seizure. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

The doctors (neurologists) diagnosis would be confirmed by a battery of tests that he/she will conduct to come to the conclusion that you have a seizure disorder or some other neurological disorder.
Once you have been diagnosed, he/she will put you on a regimen of medication watching you closely deciding whether to up or lower the dosage since you are a new patient.
There is not a sweet to the point, but that is the best that I can do for you.
Good luck!
