However, some people are arguing whether epilepsy is a mental illness or not!
So, is epilepsy a kind of mental illness? Does a cold really cause seizures? What causes epilepsy? Today, we will talk to you in detail!
What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a chronic recurrent transient brain dysfunction syndrome caused by a variety of causes. It is a common disease of the nervous system (non-psychiatric). Epilepsy can cause mental disorders, it is a neurological disease, not a "mental disease."
The occurrence of epilepsy is a complex neurological brain disease caused by the abnormal discharge of cranial neurons.
Does a cold cause seizures?
There are many articles on the Internet that the cold can cause epileptic seizures. After a careful look, I found that colds and toxic encephalitis may cause epileptic seizures.
Obviously, most colds are not accompanied by toxic encephalitis. There is another situation. Some wards with severe colds and persistent high fever keep the cranial nerves in a state of tension for a long time, which may also induce epilepsy.
It should be said that these conditions occur in patients with severe colds, and general mild colds will not cause epilepsy.
What are the common causes of epilepsy?
Because epilepsy often has seizures, it brings pain to epilepsy patients. If they pay attention to the details of life, it is possible to avoid or reduce seizures.
Common reasons that may induce epilepsy are: fever, excessive drinking, excessive ventilation, drinking, lack of sleep, overwork and hunger, environmental noise, excessive stress, etc. can all induce epilepsy.
Therefore, for patients with epilepsy, they should pay attention to avoid fatigue, ensure adequate sleep, participate in moderate exercise, watch less TV, and prohibit playing video games, which can effectively reduce seizures.
Does seizure pinching work?
In folk, people who encounter epileptic seizures often like to pinch them to relieve their symptoms. In fact, this is not necessary.
We know that epileptic seizures are caused by abnormal discharges caused by damage to cranial neuron cells. To prevent epileptic seizures, it is necessary to repair the damaged neuron cells, the damaged neuron cells can be repaired, and the brain function will return to normal. Since pinching cannot solve the problem of cranial nerves, the purpose of treatment cannot be achieved.
Can epilepsy be cured?
Epilepsy is a more complicated disease, and some patients may be cured.
Most patients can control or reduce epileptic seizures with drugs. Only a small number of patients do not take medications in time, or under the circumstances of high mental stress and excessive fatigue, they can still cause epilepsy recurrence.
