Determinants of compliance in epileptic patients
Abstract:
A questionnaire was filled out by 270 epileptic outpatients responsible for taking their own medication to assess the extent of drug compliance-adherence and look for factors associated with poor compliance. Eighty-six patients (31.8%) were considered non-compliers. Significant factors for non-compliance were a duration of disease from 10 to 20 years, a low frequency of seizures and a drug intake considered as very bothersome. Neither sex nor age at onset, nor age at survey, nor type of epilepsy were different in compliers and non-compliers. Stopping medication to see if one is cured was more frequent in women than in men and a fear of drug toxicity was more frequent in patients over 30 years old.

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
