Abstract:	"Fast Facts: Epilepsy" is a succinct and practical aid to the diagnosis and treatment of seizure disorders. Contents include: the diagnostic essentials - classification of seizures, conditions that can mimic epileptic seizures, clinical evaluation of the patient and the latest brain-imaging techniques; the principles of drug selection and therapy withdrawal; an up-to-date overview of all 15 antiepileptic drugs on the market; the non-pharmacological options for patients with medically refractory epilepsy, including deep brain stimulation; special considerations for women, elderly people, teenagers and people with learning disabilities; psychiatric morbidities - depression, anxiety and psychosis; and, the effects of epilepsy on employment, driving, life insurance and lifestyle. Now in its fifth edition, this ever-popular handbook is a neatly packaged, up-to-date resource for the busy clinician and team, to help investigate, diagnose and successfully treat children and adults with a wide range of seizure disorders.
