There are unique challenges to the care of women with epilepsy, including the gender-specific influences that women may experience owing to their age, hormonal status, and co-morbidities. Many healthcare providers are not informed about the unique issues facing women with epilepsy. This new edition comprehensively reviews the impacts of epilepsy at different life-stages, from adolescence, through pregnancy and to menopause, highlighting appropriate therapies. The book covers topics including managing patients' fertility and preconception counselling, obstetric and fetal monitoring and post-partum seizure management. Chapters on drug-drug interactions, the effect of hormones and anti-epileptic drugs have been thoroughly updated according to new guidelines. Information is presented practically, with bullet points allowing readers to access take home messages easily. This is a highly practical, up-to-date and concise manual for the practical approach in caring for women with epilepsy aimed at general practitioners, midwives, obstetricians, general neurologists, and anesthetists.
