Published by Young Epilepsy, the handbook has been written to support families with a child with epilepsy. Useful for new staff who may not know too much about epilepsy, the handbook is informative with input from Great Ormond Street and parents who told the authors what they would like to have known when their child was first diagnosed. It covers how epilepsy presents, the different types of seizures, epilepsy syndromes, managing seizures, treatments for epilepsy, living with epilepsy, learning and behaviour problems, and epilepsy and adolescence.
