Review
`a good all-round update of the subject..... I would certainly recommend this book to anyone working in neurology, general practice surgeries and pre-registration nursing students at the branch stage of their education.' Nursing Times

Product Description
Epilepsy: The Facts, written by a neurologist and a pediatric neurologist, explains in clear and simple terms everything about the causes and effects of epilepsy. Intended for sufferers of epilepsy and their relatives, the authors explain what is meant by epilepsy, describe different types of epileptic seizure and of epilepsy syndromes in childhood and adult life, and offer an explanation of how epilepsy is investigated. Recent advances in the management of epilepsy by the use of drugs and therapy are considered in depth, as is the impact of new imaging techniques. The authors emphasize throughout the positive possibilities for people with epilepsy as well as advising on how to cope with problems as and when they arise in day-to-day living. The authors have succeeded in making this complex field intersting and understandable for people with epilepsy and their relatives.
