EPILEPSY

epsy cannat be entirely con-
trolied,: there. are- more. epil-
eptics _wha- lose | their jobs
because of prejudice and. lack
of ‘understanding ;
‘them because of the number
and severity of uncontrofled
attacks, the Canadian
Association says.

It is difficult to define
epsy because of the
forms it takes. Periodically the
persons suffering from epilepsy
will have an interruption of
brain function and may replace
normal. function. by abnormal

result may involve” a. simple
Staring spell, a-drop attack ‘or

These are generally called Petit
Mal attacks. oe :

However, epilepsy may -show
itself by periods of - senseless
behaviour .or-‘ by ‘attacks: of

") major: convulsions whish-~ aré*|:

generally called. Grand Mal
attacks, IE these canditions are
not ‘controlled, those affected
can neither be safely employed
nor allowed-to drive a car.

Fortunately, great strides
have been made in adding to

its treatment, The first major
step. forward came. in .. 1957
when Charles Lacock, society
doctor an@ obstetrician to
Queen Victoria, diséovered that
bromides would often ‘suppress
epilepsy, ‘

in 1912 phenobarbital waa
found to produce similar. re-
sults, do it better ‘and - with
fewer side-effects, Even ‘import..
ant developments were’ discov-
ered in the 1980's and 1940's.

Two new and very effective
drugs were found and now ate
