The world of the epileptic.
Epilepsy in its various forms affects approximately one percent of the population. There are still many prejudices and restrictions imposed on the epileptic by a poorly enlightened public. In this article, an overview of the world of the epileptic is attempted with some comments on types of seizures, their acute and chronic treatment, and the general management of an epileptic patient. Comments are made on various aspects of epilepsy including personality traits, employability, education, car driving, insurance, marriage and child-bearing.
