ABSTRACT

Epilepsy is probably the most frequent neurological condition in the world. The World Health Organization estimates that about 65 million people in the world are epileptic, of whom 50 million live in underdeveloped countries. The epileptics suffer from the beginnings of the history of the humanity of a stigma that provoked, in the antiquity and the medioevo, barbaric and antiscientific practices. Despite advances in the knowledge of the genesis of the disease, a series of myths and attitudes persist in our days that cause the epileptic patient not to be fully accepted in modern society. Among them are feelings of overprotection on the part of the family, rejection by teachers and classmates, as well as a series of discriminatory practices in adulthood in terms of employment opportunities and maternity, among others.
