title: [Social problems of epilepsy].
abstract: Epilepsy is not only a cerebral but also a social reality. The social problems surrounding this afflication must usually be faced throughout the patient's life: in childhood remedial measures or special schools are usually necessary, and when school has ended the question of employment arises. In addition, the wish to drive a motor vehicle is often expressed. Structural analysis of the "epileptic personality" reveals, over and above the unmodifiable components, a number of therapeutically accessible areas; in special cases even creative leanings are observable.
