  • Summary

    Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions affecting women and men of all ages. This chapter explores population-level data collected in women with epilepsy (WWE). It begins with an overview of the epidemiology of epilepsy and differences between males and females, then examines common epilepsy comorbidities (depression and anxiety). Finally, this chapter looks at special issues females with epilepsy may encounter through the lifespan starting with childhood and adolescence, running through the reproductive years and into the menopausal transition. The data first introduced in this chapter will be expanded upon in subsequent subject-specific chapters (these are highlighted in each section below).
