Description
Epilepsy is a nervous disorder that causes convulsions and loss of consciousness, and diagnosis of this condition can have a dramatic effect on people's lives. This book aims to provide a reference source explaining the condition and symptoms of epilepsy. It features details of diagnosis and medication as well as information on the incidence and possible causes of epilepsy. Later chapters deal with long term questions relating to such issues as employment rights, travel, adjustment, diet, drugs and the effects during pregnancy. As well as helping patients to take more interest in their condition and form fruitful working partnerships with their doctors, this book provides information for numerous professionals including nurses, social workers and voluntary workers who work with epileptic clients.
