Dr. Leonor Cabral-Lim, president of the Philippine League Against Epilepsy (PLAE), said it is important to treat epilepsy at a young age.


"Epilepsy, depending on the case, can be treated in two to five years or it cannot be treated at all... The benefits of treatment outweighs the risk of not being treated," she said.
