[The current aspects of the social and biological adaptation of epilepsy patients in Russia].
The influence of social alterations on the treatment effectivity and social adaptation of 1350 epileptic patients was followed up in 1981-1993. It is shown that during the period of social stability clinical observation of such patients was quite satisfactory. Therapeutic response reached 98.2% at invalidity rate 0.2% in 1989. On the contrary, during period of social instability 10.8% of patients did not resolve any treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment lowered to 76.6%, remission failure occurred in 6%, and the percent of the invalids increased to 5.6% of patients. The recommendations are given concerning adaptation of epileptics to new social conditions.
