The contents include: The diagnostic essentials - classification of seizures, conditions that can mimic epileptic seizures, clinical evaluation of the patient and the latest brain-imaging techniques; the principles of drug selection and therapy withdrawal; an up-to-date overview of all the anti-epileptic drugs on the market; the non-pharmacological options for patients with medically refractory epilepsy; special considerations for women, elderly people, teenagers and people with learning disabilities; psychiatric morbidities - depression, anxiety and psychosis; and, the effects of epilepsy on employment, driving, life insurance and lifestyle. The management of patients with epilepsy is a team effort involving medical and social service professionals and the patient's family, friends and co-workers. Primary care providers are at the forefront of care, usually performing the initial evaluation after the first seizure, making dose adjustments to the patient's drug treatment and providing ongoing support. "Fast Facts: Epilepsy" is a compact handbook with an accessible and readable format. It is essential reading for all those involved with the unique clinical aspects of this common neurological disorder.
