Living With Epilepsy

Have you or a loved one been recently diagnosed with epilepsy? If so, your immediate goal is to become seizure-free. Working closely with your physician to begin treatment is the top priority.

However, you can’t have enough information about how to live with this disorder and Living With Epilepsy is written to give you answers to some of the basic questions about epilepsy and its treatments.

For instance did you know that seizures are the only visible symptom of epilepsy?

Did you know that there are different types of seizures and that not everyone displays the same symptoms in the same way?

Finally, did you know that there are other types of seizures that do not necessarily diagnose as epilepsy but are in fact a result of some other disorder?

You need answers to these and the multitude of other questions if you are to be armed with the right ammunition when suspecting epilepsy in yourself or a loved one.

Epilepsy is the considered the second most common disease in America and is prevalent in over one percent of Americans each year. 125,000 to 150,000 people are diagnosed each year. 30 percent of those diagnosed are children.
