A member asked:
Is it non epilepsy general seizure curable and how much it will take time to recover?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: This depends on what is causing the "non-epilepsy general seizure." seizures from alcohol withdrawal for instance, can be "cured" by going through alcohol detox and then staying away from alcohol. If a brain tumor is causing the seizure, this needs to be treated specifically. Many other things can cause seizures, and treating these causes is necessary to avoid further episodes.

Depends..: Upon the cause of the seizure almost completely. Drug use, alcohol withdrawal, traumatic brain injury if there was dural penetration or not all will have differing prognoses. You would be wise to seek individual professional opinion face to face for an accurate answer. Good luck!
