What are the dangers of epilepsy and what are the dangers of epilepsy

As epilepsy, we have to understand that if we have epilepsy, we must ** as soon as possible, because epilepsy brings us endless harm, and epilepsy has a certain harm, so, what? The following epilepsy experts will explain it to us: 1. The harmfulness of epileptic seizures:

During the attack, due to confusion and lack of external circumstances, accidents are prone to occur. Repeated and frequent attacks can easily cause increased blood pressure, lack of oxygen to the brain, and may also cause paralysis of the limbs. Epilepsy reversal and irrational medication can easily damage brain nerve cells and seriously affect people's intelligence and appearance.

2. The harm caused by the type of epilepsy: epilepsy induced by intracranial tumor is a great threat to the patient's life and obviously affects the survival rate of the patient. Genetic predisposition is evident and is the root cause of the disease in the next generation.

3. The psychological harmfulness of epilepsy patients: due to discrimination and unfair treatment in all aspects, it can cause patients to increase mental pressure, anxiety, low self-esteem, and even have thoughts of suicide. 7. Cerebrovascular disease accompanied by seizures, which can induce or aggravate stroke, coronary heart disease, angina, cerebral infarction and severe cardiac damage.

8. Cause great mental pressure and heavy psychological burden to the familyEpilepsy should go as soon as possible, the Epilepsy Center of the authoritative hospital is a national large-scale epilepsy hospital, epilepsy clinical base, with world-class modern diagnosis and treatment equipment, and has reached the top level in China in terms of hardware construction. Experts gathered, the hospital and a number of large hospitals and medical research institutions at home and abroad have joined forces to establish a clinical research base of Central China Anti-Epilepsy Association, realize the sharing of experts, technology and information resources, and achieve fruitful results in the field of epilepsy scientific research, focus on epilepsy medicine, run the best anti-epilepsy hospital in China, and serve the majority of epilepsy patients across the country.

There are three main harms of epilepsy:

1. The harm of epilepsy is mainly manifested in the damage to the brain. Seizures can cause memory loss and in some cases, mental retardation.

2. Influence on patient behavior. Some patients with a longer history of the disease may have strange behaviors or emotions. It usually manifests as pessimism, negativity, low self-esteem and other emotions.

3. Threat to the patient's life. A very small number of patients do not get good first aid and conditioning measures when they have seizures, which will cause accidental injury or even death, and what are the dangers of epilepsy.

Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "epilepsy", is a chronic disease in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction. According to the latest epidemiological data in China, the overall prevalence of epilepsy in China is 100,000 per year, and the prevalence of active epilepsy with seizures within 1 year is 100,000. It is estimated that there are about 9 million epilepsy patients in China, of which 500 6 million are active epilepsy patients, and about 400,000 new epilepsy patients are added every year, and epilepsy has become the second most common disease in neurology in China after headache.

1. Epilepsy patients have sudden seizures, which can easily cause accidental injury, and some epileptic patients will also have status epilepticus, which is life-threatening.

2. Cerebrovascular diseases are often accompanied by seizures, which can induce or aggravate stroke, coronary heart disease, angina, cerebral infarction and severe heart disease damage.

3. Some patients with a long medical history often have strange behaviors, and their emotions are mainly manifested as few words, withdrawn personality, impulsive and angry, suspicious, etc., and caregivers should be vigilant.

4. Seizures can cause damage to the patient's brain, cause memory impairment, mental decline, personality changes, etc., and will also increase the number of seizures. Although not all epilepsy affects intelligence, most people with epilepsy have some mental retardation.

It is recommended that epilepsy patients choose to seek medical treatment, and it is best to go to a regular public hospital in the country, so that all examinations and advanced technologies are guaranteed, and they should not rush to the doctor.

In view of epilepsy, one of the five major problems in the world of neurological diseases, the Epilepsy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University in Beijing has created the "Neuroelectro-Grading Stratification Comprehensive Project" with good results.

At present, this technology has been clinically applied in the Epilepsy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University in Beijing.

1. Life is in danger. The main ones are status epilepticus, accidents, suicide, and unexplained sudden death. Generalized-onset status epilepticus is often accompanied by varying degrees of consciousness and motor dysfunction, and in severe cases, cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure.

Even with active rescue, the case fatality rate is still high. At the same time, the incidence of neurological sequelae such as mental retardation, paralysis, and more severe seizures is as high as 9% to 20%. Because the seizure characteristics of epilepsy, i.e., recurrent and episodic, cause the patient to develop at any time, and may also put the patient in a dangerous state.

And there are also patients who can't bear the pain or various pressures and choose suicide as the point of no return.

2. Epileptic mental disorder. Once an epilepsy patient is diagnosed, it will definitely bring him a lot of psychological pressure, and many people will have psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent, and often have despair. The medication period of intractable epilepsy is often very long, and some patients may have to take medication for life, and it is inevitable that all kinds of unpleasant things will happen in daily life, especially those related to diseases, which often increase the psychological burden of patients and eventually lead to epileptic mental disorders.

3. Trauma. During the attack, the patient may fall due to the sudden loss of consciousness, and touch the surrounding hard objects and sharp objects, causing various injuries to the body. Patients with intractable seizures are more likely to be agitated during the seizure, and may have aggressive behaviors such as self-injury, wounding, and destroying objects.

Epilepsy is a chronic disease of the nervous system, and the degree of harm to human health is related to the severity of epilepsy, including the frequency, duration, length of medical history, clinical manifestations, psychological quality, etc. Generally speaking, the higher the frequency, the longer the duration, the longer the medical history, the more complex the clinical manifestations, and the worse the psychological quality, the greater the harm and the more obvious the consequences. Seizures can cause damage to normal nerve cells, glial hyperplasia, and changes in the biochemical environment of other organs in the body.

The main effects are as follows:

Seizures cause damage to the brain, causing memory impairment, decreased intelligence, personality changes, and can lead to an increase in the number of seizures. Some people think that petit mal seizures, psychomotor seizures, and localized seizures are not very harmful to the human body, but this perception is wrong. Although there are many people with epilepsy who have superior intelligence and outstanding intelligence, from the perspective of the entire group of epilepsy patients, the intelligence is still inferior to that of the normal population.

Some symptomatic epilepsy is often accompanied by mental retardation, and even in people with intellectual disabilities.

Effect on behavior. Some patients with a long medical history often have strange behaviors, such as few words, withdrawn personality, impulsiveness, anger, and suspicion.

Impact on lifespan. Some seizures are sometimes sudden and can cause accidental injury, and individual seizures can lead to status epilepticus, which is life-threatening.

Implications for other aspects. Some seizures often affect breathing, blood pressure, pulse, etc., causing damage to other tissues and organs.

Therefore, people with epilepsy should overcome the difficulties and be active and early to minimize the damage to health. The earlier the epilepsy**, the better the effect. The less it affects spirit, IQ, etc.

Some patients or family members have a fluke mentality, and at the same time are afraid of drugs, hoping that epilepsy will heal itself, and it is not advisable not to do so.

(1) Impact on psychology: Epilepsy patients often have seizures, or will be discriminated against by the people around them, and will have an inferiority complex, so family, friends, and society should pay attention to epilepsy patients and give them more care!

2) Influence on behavior: epilepsy patients are prone to low speech, abnormal behavior, irritability, suspiciousness, and sometimes patients will have unsteady standing; Children and elderly patients are particularly prone to falls, and for those who also suffer from high blood pressure, it may be life-threatening!

3) It will cause sequelae: epilepsy brain damage is inevitable, brain damage is manifested in memory delay, impaired memory, mental retardation, personality seizure changes, and epilepsy sequelae that promote multiple seizures!

4) impact on life: generalized seizures of status epilepticus are often accompanied by varying degrees of consciousness; Motor dysfunction, severe cases have cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure, even if active rescue, the mortality rate is still reached, and some epilepsy patients have embarked on the road of self-injury because they can't bear the torture of epilepsy!

5) Drugs***: For patients who take a large number of anti-epileptic drugs for a long time, the toxicity of the drugs is very damaging to liver and kidney function and body. If the body of an epilepsy patient is not fully developed, coupled with the long-term use of a large number of anti-epileptic drugs, it will cause great damage to the patient's liver and kidney function, and once the injury is caused, it is difficult to recover.

Epilepsy can also seriously affect the patient's work, study and life, and the patient's nervousness, fear and anxiety about the disease, over time, make the patient have a negative and inferior complex, lead to a decline in academic performance, no interest in life, detachment from the collective, perverse behavior, and even begin to be pessimistic and misanthropic. Sudden death occurs in patients with epilepsy, and the cause is mostly related to the original disease.

Cerebral hypoxia: Each seizure of epilepsy will bring some harm to the patient, which is caused by an abnormal large amount of brain discharge, which will consume the patient's energy, resulting in relative energy deficiency and cerebral hypoxia.

Irreversible brain damage: Brain damage is an inevitable harm of epilepsy, if the number of seizures is too large, and the duration of each seizure is long, even partial seizures can cause irreversible brain damage, resulting in the destruction of brain tissue structure and the formation of new epileptic lesions, which are often irreversible.

Accidental injury: The harm of epilepsy is that there will be unexpected events, because when the epileptic attack occurs, the patient is often unconscious, so the patient cannot control himself, therefore, the incidence of accidental injury will also be greatly increased, and clinical fractures, drowning, etc.

1. The harm of epilepsy is mainly caused by abnormal brain and abnormal nerve discharge. Therefore, epileptic seizures can lead to a lack of energy in the brain and a lack of oxygen, often nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, etc., because of some problems caused by brain reasons, resulting in irreversible brain damage.

2. When epilepsy patients have seizures, they are delirious and do not know why, and accidents are easy to occur. The most terrible thing about epileptic seizures is that an accident occurs, which can lead to the accidental death of the patient, which is one of the most serious hazards of epilepsy for the patient, and the seizure can last up to a few hours, and if it is not treated in time, it may lead to an accident.

3. The seizures of epilepsy will change the physiology of the patient, because the brain damage is irreversible, and epilepsy has the characteristics of reversing, in the past, the patient's cranial nerve damage is becoming more and more serious, resulting in mental retardation, mental disorders, learning difficulties, and severe cerebral palsy.

Fourth, epilepsy is generally drug-based, due to the characteristics of epilepsy, the need for long-term medication, we can not ignore the drug, patients should regularly go to the hospital for examination, adjust the dosage of the drug or change the drug according to the condition, and reduce the drug to the minimum.

5. Because epilepsy patients are discriminated against and treated unfairly by all aspects of society, it will also cause heavy psychological burden and great economic pressure on the family, which may cause patients to be depressed, anxious, inferior, and even commit suicide in despair.

First of all, there is the danger to life. Especially when epilepsy patients are engaged in more dangerous work or are in a dangerous situation, such an environment will definitely affect the patient's life. And if the seizures continue and are not treated in time, it can also lead to life-threatening seizures.

There are also cases of suicide, unexplained sudden death, etc., which have a serious impact on life.

Secondly, there is the mental disorder. A well-healthy person is suddenly told that he has epilepsy. It will definitely cause a lot of mental stress to the patient.

Especially for some people whose mentality is prone to mutations, that is, people with weak psychological tolerance, the appearance of epilepsy makes their lives appear dark spots, and they feel that there is no hope in life.

In addition, some people in the process of **, with the long-term medication, and epilepsy recurrence, there will be all kinds of unpleasantness, resulting in a heavy psychological burden.

Then there is trauma. Regardless of where the seizure occurs, the absence of symptoms can lead to falls, walls, and collisions, which can also lead to injury. Some of the more serious injuries involve the brain, and can also affect the patient's epilepsy, and the more severe the injury, the more serious the epilepsy may be.

Therefore, seizures can also lead to trauma.

Finally, epilepsy can also cause hallucinations, both visually and audibly, which can disturb the nerves of the person with epilepsy and cause the person to do things that harm themselves. Therefore, as a family member, you must take care of the patient.
