About Cleveland Clinic Guide To Epilepsy: Essential

Product Description One in 10 Americans will experience a seizure in his or her lifetime. If you have had a seizure or if you’re one of the 3 million Americans experiencing epilepsy, you might not know how best to cope with this common condition. Many myths surround epilepsy, and it’s hard to separate them from the facts. In Cleveland Clinic Guide to Epilepsy, Dr. Elaine Wyllie, a world-renowned pediatric neurologist and epilepsy specialist, sets the facts straight. She shares insights, discoveries, and inspiring stories from the front lines. Inside you’ll find guidance to help you: • Understand your diagnosis in order to gain the best care possible. • Know what to expect when you or someone you love has a seizure. • Discover the newest treatments and what to do if the medications aren’t working. • Get the facts about epilepsy in people of all ages and understand issues specific to children, seniors, and women. • Find inspiration and encouragement from the powerful stories of people who have experienced epilepsy.
