It is one of the oldest diseases described in literature from remote ancient civilizations 2000-3000 years ago. Despite its long history and wide spread, epilepsy is still surrounded by myth and prejudice, which can only be overcome with great difficulty. The term epilepsy is derived from the Greek verb epilambanein, which by itself means to be seized and to be overwhelmed by surprise or attack. Therefore, epilepsy is a condition of getting over, seized, or attacked. The twelve very interesting chapters of this book cover various aspects of epileptology from the history and milestones of epilepsy as a disease entity, to the most recent advances in understanding and diagnosing epilepsy.EPILEPSYEpilepsyPsychological aspectsEpilepsyPopular worksEpilepsyPsychological aspects.Epilepsy616.853Al-Zwaini Isam Jaber1963-Albadri Ban Adbul-Hameed MajeedNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910687915803321Epilepsy2818881UNINA
