Xuzhou Mental Health Service Station: Epilepsy is a chronic disease of transient brain dysfunction caused by a sudden abnormal firing of neurons in the brain. Epilepsy refers to the clinical phenomenon caused by abnormal neuronal abnormalities and excessive supersynchronous firing in the brain, which manifests as sudden and transient symptoms. Since abnormally firing neurons are located in different parts of the brain, their manifestations are also diverse. It can be motor sensory nerves or autonomic nerves, with or without changes in consciousness or alertness.
The original annotation of the word hysteria was "mental illness", a common mental illness. Hysteria patients are thought to be susceptible to suggestive, exaggerated, emotional, self-centered, and often influenced by psychiatric factors or adverse cues. It can present with a variety of clinical symptoms such as sensory and motor dysfunction, visceral and autonomic dysfunction, and psychiatric disorders. This symptom has no basis for organic damage and can be caused by suggestion, or it can be altered or disappeared by suggestion.
The difference between hysterical seizures and epilepsy in children:
(1) The onset of hysteria in children is more common in older children and is closely related to mental factors.
(2) Hysteriaconvulsive disorder, unconsciousness, urinary and urinary incontinence.
(3) Hysteria syncope slowly declines, no damage, changes in the face, normal pupillary reflex, can be recalled after the attack.
(4) Hysteria attacks are related to the surrounding environment, often occurring at conspicuous times and places, and are aggravated when there are people around.
(5) Suggestive therapy can prevent the onset of hysteria.
(6) The EEG is normal at the onset of hysteria.
Effectively identifying false seizures can help children receive correct treatment in a timely manner, eliminate seizure symptoms, and reduce the psychological burden of children and parents. Epilepsy has a certain organic basis, so treatment is more complicated than hysteria. If you find that your child has symptoms of suspected epilepsy, you should seek medical attention in time. If the diagnosis is confirmed, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor for professional treatment.
