Description

The diagnosis of epilepsy can be upsetting for everyone -- not just the person concerned. But it isn't the end of the world. The outlook for people with this condition is improving all the time, and much depends on the patients themselves. By being informed about and accepting their epilepsy, they can gain control over it and get on with their lives.
