This free online course takes you through the symptoms, classifications, diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. Most of the world’s roughly 50 million epileptics do not have access to treatment, medical attention or even information about their neurological disorder. This free online course identifies who is most susceptible to epilepsy and explains its causes and symptoms. We then examine the available tools for diagnosis and treatment and demonstrate the use of the electroencephalogram (EEG) to detect this long-misunderstood condition.
