Description:
Forms of epilepsy that involve only part of the brain and do not involve convulsions are common and are called partial seizures. Symptoms for these partial seizure disorders can vary widely: some patients have no physical signs, experiencing only mental or sensory changes during a seizure, while others may experience numbing, shaking, or automatic movements of one or more body parts.

"Partial Seizure Disorders" is a thorough guide for people living with this common form of epilepsy. It helps patients and families secure an accurate and complete diagnosis, gain an understanding of medications and their side effects, and learn coping skills and other adjuncts to medication. The author walks readers through developmental issues and school difficulties for young children, as well as adult issues such as employment and driving; working with an existing health plan; and getting further help through advocacy and support organizations, articles, and online resources.
