Best Answer

The standard treatment for epilepsy is medication. Because epilepsy has many variations and because each individual who has it experiences it in different ways, the kinds and doses of medication will vary widely. Each individual needs to consult their doctor to find the treatment that suits them best. Often it takes time to find the most suitable treatment. In very extreme cases, surgery is used as a treatment for epilepsy, but it must be stressed that it is in extreme cases. In other cases, epilepsy will clear itself. So for example many children grow out of epilepsy as they get older or someone who started getting seizures as a result of a head injury may find that the seizures will lessen or disappear as they recover.
