  Epilepsy is the most common neurological problem in adolescence usually with serious consequences for this most critical period of development. Most of the problems encountered are caused as a result of lack of contact with the centres specializing in the study of epilepsy and its management. Therefore, many well-known authorities have produced this current state-of-the-art volume which considers all aspects of the disease in young people. Topics progress from the epidemiology, new areas of study, the latest therapies and the use of drugs - cognitive function and behaviour, the implications of drug treatment and drug withdrawal. To complete the picture, attention is drawn to the psychosocial problems.
