Abstract:
Psychosocial problems frequently are more difficult to manage than the seizures. Quality of life investigations are important in identifying psychosocial issues that impede the benefits of improved or complete seizure control. Three categories of quality of life assessment are discussed: professional observation and ratings, psychometric assessment, and community-based measures of adaptive ability.
