Why read it?
1 author picked Epilepsy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Through reading this book, I learned some practical things people with epilepsy can do that might decrease their seizure frequency.
I appreciated that the author emphasizes the importance of people with epilepsy taking control of their lives and being engaged in doing what they can to prevent seizures. This book was written from the perspective of a person with epilepsy, Andrienne Richards, and a doctor, Joel Reiter, which helped me understand epilepsy from two different perspectives. I liked learning about what various treatments there are for epilepsy aside from prescription medication.
