Many types of seizures are controllable with medication. The problem is that many are not. Most people with a chronic seizure condition (epilepsy) can have their seizures well controlled with medications, yet once in a while if they are ill or under extreme stress, they may have an occasional one. Other seizures are caused by medical conditions and are usually one of the symptoms of increasing illness. There are medications that can be given to control these seizures as well, but they are only truly resolved if the condition that caused them is resolved. The last kind are febrile seizures. They often occur in young children, only require medication if they are frequent, and the children often "grow out" of the condition as they mature. If you are having seizures, or know someone who is, please encourage a visit with a good doctor who can find the reasons for them and may be able to get them well under control.

Can j treat epilepsy with food?

Epilepsy is a physical condition, where seizures are usually caused by higher than normal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy can really only be controlled, not normally cured. People control their epilepsy through medication. Different things trigger seizures for different people. People can try to do things to reduce the amount of seizures they get, if they know their own triggers. What you should do is have a healthy diet and do other healthy things, like getting good rest.


Steve, the seizures ?

Steve, the seizures that you had while using drugs shows that there is a propensity for you to have a seizure.

Alcohol has a high incidence rate of causing seizures, and they are life threatening seizures, and that is your doctor's concern for you.
