Is Epilepsy A Curable Neurodegenerative Disease?

Need some further details regarding..
Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
I've gone through your query and understand your concerns for your niece,
To guide you further, I need to have some specific details at first:
Her age and present body weight..
How frequently does she suffer from the attacks(epilepsy), does it involve the whole body or any particular part?
Details of the reports and prescriptions of the treating doctor (you can simply upload/attach them to the reports section of this web page)..
Some other details (eg. how is she coping with day to day life, is she school going/college going/working, any problem leading the daily life activities)..
Any other complaints apart from the seizure...
It's important to diagnose the cause of the seizure first, then only the prognosis can be decided upon, for which routine and timely visit to the Neurologist is necessary, as well as follow-up investigations (most importantly MRI-brain, EEG to monitor this further)..
I'll look forward to seeing these necessary details in your follow-up...
Take Care
Kind Regards
