In Reply to: Epilepsy and cross-cultural stigma. posted by Salma on February 20, 2000 at 17:34:55:

: Hello everyone. I'm doing a research essay on the cross-cultural stigma concerning epilepsy. I'm finding it very hard to find material on this subject matter. If you have any recommendations, books, journals, anything, please email me or post a message.

: Also, I never noticed how many support groups there were. Is this a recent change? or have they always been around? I was told by my professor that support groups for epilepsy were far and few. Let me know if this is correct.

: Thank you.

I am presently also looking into this topic as part of the Global Campaign Epilepsy out of the shadows. How far have you got and what is the purpose of your research? Looking forward to your reply, H.Meinardi, MD, PhD. e-mail H.Meinardi@lumc.nl
