description: Epilepsy is like no other medical condition. It hits about one person in 100, and it can start at any age, sometimes for no apparent reason. Seizures may strike often, or almost never. Attacks take many different forms, from violent convulsions and unconsciousness, to flickers of "absence" as brief as a passing thought. What, then, is epilepsy? What does it do to your life, and what options do you have? This authoritative new addition to the Your Personal Health series explains what we know today about this unpredictable disorder and gives detailed, practical advice on living with it, in yourself or a loved one.
