Synopsis

This is an updated hadbook for people with siezure disorders and those closest to them. It offers coping strategies for the wide range of practical and emotional challenges that epilepsy can introduce into the family: marital and sexual difficulties, concerns about pregnancy and inheritance, drug compliance and abuse among teenagers, personality changes and suicide. It addresses the personal questions that adults with epilepsy may be reluctant to ask their physician, and it offers chapters tailored to the special stresses of spouses, parents, and siblings who, like the patient, must live with a seizure disorder. As many as 2.5 million Americans have epilepsy. Thirty per cent of them are children under the age of 18. Richard Lechtenberg explains the biology behind this complex and relatively widespread class of diseases. He discusses the various mediacal conditions that can cause seizures in children and adults and points out that the cause of many seizure disorders is nover discovered.
