Can Epilepsy Be Cured?
There is currently no cure for epilepsy. However, early treatment would help manage symptoms effectively. If left untreated, prolonged or uncontrolled seizures would result in brain damage or even become fatal. Certain medications can help control seizures and epilepsy. Two forms of brain surgery may also be suggested to reduce the risk of seizures. The resection removes the brain area where seizures occur, while the disconnection makes cuts in your brain to disrupt the nerve pathway and prevent seizures from affecting other areas. Having a proper treatment plan may significantly improve the symptoms and help people with epilepsy lead a good life. [7]
