Epilepsy Misunderstood

I think to have someone tell you that you need to discipline your child better and teach them how to behave properly after they have just had a seizure is evidence of the lack of education the public has on epilepsy and how devastating this disease can be to families. I also believe it is just cold hearted. Epileptics need control of seizures without side effects, but EPILEPTICS NEED A CURE! I personally believe it is the responsibility of the neurological, neuroscience, epileptoligists and neurosurgical community to not only try to find a treatment, but to also try to find the cause and the cure. Often there is a cause which is treatable. Many times there is not, but you won't know unless you check.
