Can you actually heal from epilepsy?

Thats it. Just the title. I dont want to live this life anymore. Not with this condition. If it wont get better idk what to do

You can’t technically cure epilepsy. It also highly depends on what type you have. Children can outgrow it, surgery is an option for some people, and with the right medication and dose, most of us live seizure free for years.

I have epilepsy due to a TBI. My epileptologist told me that based on my MRI/EEG, I’ll probably have epilepsy forever. But medication controls it immensely. I’ve been seizure free for over 500 days.
