Social of Epilepsy in Kuwait

Saleh M. El-Hilu

A retrospective analysis of the in-patients' case notes of 55 chronic epileptics admit ted for psychiatric treatment to Kuwait Psychological Medicine Hospital revealed that the commonest seizure type was generalized grand mal epilepsy. Adverse effects on marriage, education and occupation were common. It is concluded that epilep tics are more prone to have social difficulties, and that their marital status and fer tility are far from satisfactory. The findings of the present study are similar to those reported in the literature.
