Narrated by Duncan Mclntyre
One in two hundred people suffer from some form of epilepsy. Medical treatment can do much to control their seizures, but epileptics-most of whom are normal in between attacks-have to face many problems at school, at work, and in their homes, largely due to other people misunderstanding.
