Beskrivelse
Epilepsy is a disease of the brain that causes recurrent unprovoked seizures. Several causes exist, including head trauma, stroke, brain tumor, and brain infection. Other causes include drug effects or intoxication, genetics, and metabolic disturbances. This guidebook provides essential information on Epilepsy, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes, and first-person narratives by people coping with Epilepsy. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
