title: [Family situation of epilepsy patients].
abstract: The study is devoted to the investigation of the marital status of epileptic patients as a major parameter of the patient's social adaptation. The author analyzes the marital status of 17,236 epileptic patients aged 16 years and over registered at 18 psychoneurological outpatient centres. The obtained results are compared to the earlier published analogous data. It was found that over 50% of epileptic patients aged 16 years and over are married, which agrees with the investigations conducted previously. It is emphasized that a high percentage of married patients correlates with their stable occupational compensation.
