Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello dear friend,
I understand your concerns.Epilepsy,in more than 90 percent of the cases can be controlled well with medicines and a few percentage of epilepsy cases which are not controlled well with medicines need epilepsy surgery,which again has promising results.Complete cure of the disease,may not be achievable in all cases but good control definitely is.Proper treatment is possible only with proper diagnosis.What type of seizure and what is the cause of seizure?These guide the choice of treatment.Go to a neurologist,he will evaluate for the causes and type of epilepsy.He will probably get a MRI(magnetic resonance imaging)brain done and other relevant investigations.Still need help,please respond.Sir isaac newton,Abraham lincoln had epilepsy with great control.And they were great people,is it?
