The book offers a 360-degree view by incorporating medical, social, and other perspectives to help you cope with epilepsy or support someone who has been diagnosed. You'll learn about triggers and risk factors, different types of seizures, and getting a diagnosis. You'll also explore various treatment options, including medications, surgery, therapy, and neuromodulation. Beyond the basics, this guide addresses staying safe and managing associated conditions, empowering you to live well.
