(Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological diseas...)
Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological diseases. Even so, knowledge about it is extremely limited, both among sufferers and the population in general. This striking ignorance stems principally from a mixture of fear and prejudice. In this book, epilepsy - its causes, various symptoms, the necessary investigations and possibilities for treatment - is discussed in readily-understood language. The psychological and social consequences and problems arising from the disease are comprehensively explored. This work is designed both for those suffering from epilepsy and for the public at large. Its aims is to increase knowledge of the disease by dissemination of sensible information to drive out fear and prejudice.
