This book offers a fresh look at epilepsy, breaking prejudices and stereotypes. Through personal stories of patients, the author shows how it is possible to live with a diagnosis while preserving dignity and clarity of mind. Epilepsy is a disease that many know only vaguely, often associated with fears and myths. But behind medical terminology there are real people’s stories—full of struggle, hope, and overcoming. In her book, Maria Panova shows that epilepsy is not a sentence, but a part of life that one can learn to deal with. She reveals different aspects of the illness through patients’ experience: how seizures manifest, how patients themselves, their families, and even accidental witnesses react to them, and what to do in case of a seizure. On the pages of the book, you’ll find information about first aid for epileptic seizures, common myths, the difficulties of diagnosis, and pregnancy for people with epilepsy. This important book teaches compassion and attentiveness, dismantles stereotypes, and reminds readers that a diagnosis does not define a person—and that living with epilepsy can be long, full, and happy.
