- Special considerations for women, elderly people, teenagers and people with learning disabilities

- The effects of epilepsy on employment, driving, life insurance and lifestyle.
- The management of patients with epilepsy is a team effort involving medical and social service professionals and the patient's family, friends and co-workers.
