Recenzje

"I particularly liked the chapters on epilepsy and sexual dysfunction (4), epilepsy and inflammatory bowel disease (6), epilepsy and obesity (7) and care aspects in the management of comorbidities in epilepsy (19). Here are some suggestions for the next edition of the book. These comments are not intended to reduce the value of the book. In his Foreword, Marco Mula emphasizes that this is a book by clinicians for clinicians with the aim of improving the treatment and quality of life of people with epilepsy." --Zeitschrift fur Epileptologie
