Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease caused by multiple causes and characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. At present, it is mainly believed that epilepsy is characterized by repeated, episodic and transient central nervous system dysfunction caused by excessive discharge of brain neurons. Epilepsy is usually diagnosed when two or more unprovoked epileptic seizures occur. Partial seizures are the most common. Uncontrolled seizures are associated with lifestyle restrictions and social impairment and can lead to serious adverse outcomes, including severe trauma, depression, anxiety, and sudden death. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), also known as anticonvulsants, are drugs used to prevent epilepsy (epilepsy) attacks. People with epilepsy need to take one or more AEDs regularly. AEDs interact with nerve cells in the brain, often reducing their activity. Different AEDs work through a variety of mechanisms, so each type of epilepsy responds to some AEDs and not others
