Health Talk Understanding The Epileptic
The educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society notes public misunderstanding of epilepsy stems from convulsions and urges acceptance. Epilepsy is a brain rhythm disturbance with uncertain causes and possible hereditary tendencies. Injuries, meningitis, brain tumors, and arterial hardening can contribute. Treatments since 1938 include sedatives, certain drugs, and the ketogenic diet. Seizure types include grand mal, petit mal, and epileptic equivalents with varying consciousness and activity.
