MOREIRA, Sebastião Rogério Góis. Epilepsy: historical notion, conceptual aspects, diagnosis and treatment. Mental [online]. 2004, vol.2, n.3, pp.107-122. ISSN 1679-4427.

This paper demonstrates how epilepsy trajectory is inseparable of its historical path, delimited by relevant educational concepts that are related not only to its diagnostic but also its treatment. Its also paramount to consider the anatomofunctional dimensions of the disease, without downgrading, however, the symbolic content and mystic implications that always surrounded its social representation. This paper demonstrates how the population's lack of knowledge regarding epilepsy motivates discriminatory behavior toward the patient, putting at risk his/her recovery, social inclusion and quality of life.

Palavras-chave : Epilepsy history; Formation; Concepts; Diagnose; Treatment.
