Coping with Epilepsy (New Edition)
by Fiona Marshall and Dr Pamela M. Crawford
Epilepsy, traditionally the ‘Cinderella’ of medicine, now has a higher profile thanks to the efforts of the World Health Organisation who have led a campaign called Out of the Shadows, to make the public more aware of the condition. In particular, there has been much more awareness of the plight of women with epilepsy and their reproductive health, especially the problem of certain anti-convulsant medications and their effects on the unborn child. This new edition will strengthen the focus on women and give a strong update on drugs and surgery, a sometimes neglected but modern approach which may actually ‘cure’ epilepsy.
This book also covers:- Different types of epilepsy and seizure according to the most recent classifications
- How epilepsy may affect your life
Diagnosis - Living with epilepsy
Fiona Marshall is author of Living with Autism, Coping with SAD and Your Man's Health (all Sheldon Press). Dr Pamela Crawford is consultant neurologist at the Yorks Hospital, York, and one of the UK’s few female consultant neurologists.
