Abstract
SUMMARYThe author gives a short review of social implications of epilepsy in terms of education, employment, mental status, criminality and long‐term institutionalization of epileptics. Special attention is paid to the results of studies of medico‐social aspects of epilepsy in Poland. The problem of social label attached to epilepsy, its sources and influence on social prognosis in epilepsy is briefly discussed. The social prognosis in epilepsy seems to be related mainly to the physical, neurological and mental state of the individual epileptic and to the public general attitude towards epilepsy. There is still a great need for further multidisciplinary studies on social aspects of epilepsy especially in more representative epileptic materials, which may be found by field surveys.
