Living better with epilepsy: Growth, study, work, sports, etc.

Being epileptic is often experienced as a disability, yet most epileptics can lead a normal life thanks to a good understanding of the disease, adherence to treatment, and the involvement of caregivers in ensuring that support measures are followed. This book addresses epilepsy from its description, its different types, its causes, its diagnosis, and its therapeutic management, but also the practical life of people with epilepsy from growth, studies, sports, and leisure activities to working life, including work, sexuality, childbirth, etc., through the concerns and stories of our kind patients. This document is a specialist contribution written in language accessible to the general public for better management of epilepsy. It is intended for patients and their families, but also for students, doctors, and all professionals who need to understand the lives of people with epilepsy in order to help them minimize their disability and improve their quality of life.
