Epilepsy is a common condition worldwide, with approximately 50 million people suffering from it. A single seizure does not mean epilepsy; almost 10% of the population can have a seizure during their lifetime. In particular, there are many other central nervous system disorders other than epilepsy in which seizures occur, either transiently or as a comorbid condition. The impact of seizures and epilepsy is, therefore, widespread and easily underestimated. It is estimated that about 70% of patients with epilepsy could be seizure-free if correctly diagnosed and treated. However, for patients with epilepsy, quality of life is influenced not only by seizure control but also by antiepileptic drug-adverse reactions, access to education, mood, employment, and transportation.
癫痫在全球是一种常见病症,约有5000万人受其困扰。单次发作并不意味着患有癫痫;几乎10%的人口在其一生中会有一次发作。特别是,除癫痫外还有许多其他中枢神经系统疾病会出现发作,发作可能是短暂的,也可能是作为一种合并症出现。因此,发作和癫痫的影响广泛且容易被低估。据估计,如果正确诊断和治疗,约70%的癫痫患者可以无发作。然而,对于癫痫患者来说,生活质量不仅受发作控制的影响,还受抗癫痫药物不良反应、受教育机会、情绪、就业和交通等因素的影响。
