Epilepsy is a disorder that affects abuot 2% of the population. But epilepsy is a hard disorder to diagnose, so how can we be certain if someone has it?

width=290>Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects up to 2% of the 
population. Different neurologists have different criteria for diagnosing 
someone with epilepsy; some diagnose with as few as two seizures and others wait 
until there seems to be a clear pattern of seizures. There is also considerable 
heterogeneity in seizure activity, which makes diagnosis difficult. Once 
diagnosed, a person will never completely be free from or cured of the diagnosis 
of epilepsy. People are not free from epilepsy, they are called in partial or 
full remission if their seizures are well-controlled.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/479F3CBE-6B35-4116-97B2-5DB11804F0BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
