Description
"Epilepsy: The Facts" has been written specifically for sufferers of epilepsy and their friends and families. With this readership in mind it explains everything about the causes and effects of the disease, clearly and simply. It goes on to explain the different types of treatment that are now available. The authors emphasize throughout the positive points as well as advising on how to cope with any problems as and when they arise. They take many aspects of a normal life such as schooling, pregnancy, driving, and work, and describe how epilepsy can affect these.
