| Annotation | Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, with a lifetime incidence estimated at 2-5%. This guide aims to provide concise background information on the nature, causes, and treatment of epilepsy, and to provide answers to some of the questions most commonly asked. It is divided into 13 chapters, covering the following topics: the epidemiology, nature and characteristics of epilepsy and other seizure disorders; the diagnosis and investigation of epilepsy; medical and surgical treatments; epilepsy in women; psychiatry and epilepsy; genetic counselling; and work, leisure and epilepsy. One section briefly addresses prescription of anti-epileptic drugs for older people. A list of useful epilepsy organisations worldwide is also included. (AKM). |
