The Handbook of Epilepsy Treatment: forms, causes and therapy in children and adults provides a comprehensive coverage of medical and surgical therapy. It includes sections on: all current antiepileptic drugs; drug choice; pharmacokinetics; various surgical approaches; complementary and alternative therapies; emergency treatment of seizures and of status epilepticus; the treatment of psychiatric disorders associated with epilepsy; genetic counselling.
There are practical guides for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy, chronic epilepsy and epilepsy in remission, and sections on therapy in different epilepsy types and syndromes and in different patient groups such as children, women and elderly. The book also has also an opening chapter on the clinical forms and causes of epilepsy, and throughout the text new information is incorporated, particularly from the rapidly advancing fields of clinical genetics and clinical pharmacology.
