Caring for the patient with seizures. A 21st century approach.
Epilepsy is a condition that affects less than 2 percent of the population. In the past, people with recurring seizures often suffered their entire lives. Today, most seizure cases can be controlled with appropriate medication and follow-up. However, some patients require specialized care. This article reviews the current approach to diagnosing and treating epilepsy, which is based on the goals and standards set by the American Academy of Neurology.
