Stigmatization and social adaptation of patients with epilepsy

: The results of previous studies carried out in different countries on the problem of stigmatization of epileptic patients indicate the deficit of knowledge about epilepsy, negative attitude in the society towards the possible mutual activity with epileptic patients, difficulty in choosing an occupation and possibilities of finding a job. These issues remain understudied. The extension of knowledge that demands additional research is needed to get a more full conception of acceptance of the disease by society and non-medical population.
