Summary:

Epilepsy: The Untold Stories features six people who have Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, and who relate their personal stories of how their susceptibility to complex partial seizures has affected their relationships, employment, recreation, and self-esteem. They also suggest ways to cope with the condition. Interviews with healthcare professionals provide a clinical overview of epilepsy and of the medical means available for diagnosis and treatment. This is an invaluable introduction to the subject for healthcare students and professionals, as well as for newly diagnosed patients and their families. It will also be a helpful tool for community outreach and for awareness training for caregivers and the general public.
