There have been very few medical conditions like Epilepsy, Which have generated so much of social, emotional and economic turmoil in the life of the sufferer and his or her significant others. This book deals with all the problems arising out of this disease, which has afflicted the human race since its genesis. There have always been people with epilepsy since the dawn of time, epilepsy has affected millions of people, form beggars to kings. It is one of the oldest conditions of the human race with a rich and distinguished history. Ancient people thought, evil spirits or demons that invaded a person's body caused epileptic seizures. Priests attempted to cure people with epilepsy by driving the demons out of them with magic and prayers. This superstition was challenged by ancient physicians like Atreya of India and later Hippocrates of Greece, both of whom recognized a seizure as a dysfunction of the brain and not a supernatural event. "Some of the famous people in history had seizures. People with epilepsy have excelled in every area." Nevertheless, the superstitious interpretation of epilepsy has persisted for centuries. Attitudes of past societies toward epilepsy have left a legacy of stigma and damaging misconceptions, which still persist. People with epilepsy continue to face fear, prejudice and discrimination in their everyday lives.
