Having good physical health is an important part of living a happy and productive life. But for many young people, illnesses such as epilepsy can get in the way. This illness is caused by unusual electrical activity in the brain. Fortunately, people with epilepsy can learn to manage their condition. This begins with a proper medical diagnosis and treatment, but it doesn’t stop there. Patients with epilepsy may sometimes feel embarrassed about their illness or suffer side effects from the medication they must take. Part of the Managing Common Illnesses series, Managing Epilepsy is a guide for young people who want to learn more about how they can help themselves feel their best both physically and emotionally, so their condition doesn’t keep them from living their best lives.

Reviews and Awards for Managing Epilepsy

"Gr 5-8–A look at a variety of common illnesses and the experience of living with them. At the start of most titles a known celebrity’s story is presented to normalize the titular condition. This explains how the illness impacts their lives and work, and how they manage themselves. Each illness is explained in detail with definitions, treatment processes, and common misconceptions. A combination of illustrations and photographs are used to show both the conceptual illnesses and real people like doctors.
VERDICT: An intermediate look at illnesses that readers might interact with every day. Libraries can make great use of this series."
