Book Review: If you read one epilepsy book...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a book describing epilepsy in lengthy detail and how difficult it is. There are dozens of other books for that.
This is the best book I've found for searching out concrete, alternative solutions for self treatment and self awareness. Not all of them will work for all people. Some may even be a bit on the fringe, but if you're looking for something you can do other than take/provide medication for a person with epilepsy this will give you a great start.
The book is mostly written by a layman, Adrienne Richard, who has had epilepsy most of her adult life and has made it her business to seek out any additional treatment and research that can help her deal with seizures in day to day life. Very short sections are authored by Dr. Joel Reiter explaining epilepsy (well done, concise) and how physicians can integrate multiple methods into their treatment.
This book is somewhat dated in that it follows Richard's experiences between the 60s-90s and doesn't include things outside of her experience (ie the Ketogenic diet or Atkins) or the new drugs, but it has many discussions of food intolerances, bio-feedback, awareness of when a seizure is coming and how to dissolve it, and even her experience working with children and adults with multiple disabilities (including seizures).
One of the few epilepsy books on my recommendation list.
