Comorbidities and Social Complications of Epilepsy and Seizures: The cognitive, psychological and psychosocial impact of epilepsy

Designed to be a practical reference guide, chapters succinctly provide a current overview of the relevant area while concise enough to be read in a single sitting. All of the major co-morbidities of epilepsy are reviewed, as well as the impact of anti-epileptic medications and other therapies. In addition, a specific chapter about older patients with epilepsy is also included.

This book supplies the reader with a deeper understanding of the relevant co-morbidities in epilepsy as well as providing insights into strategies to help in the holistic treatment of patients. While primarily UK-focused it will also be of interest to medical/nursing practitioners around the globe, including in the developing world, and to epilepsy charities and interested lay- readers/patients.
