does anyone know of any good epilepsy books and documentaries? i don't mean handbooks, but rather historical books that document epilepsy throughout the history of time. some shamanistic accounts, or documents on caesar, etc. i'm really fascinated by epilepsy throughout history. thanks!

Start at your local library. Do you have epilepsy?

There's a book called Seized, by Eve La Plante about historical figures with seizure conditions - pretty interesting. It looks like there are others listed here as well. http://www.amazon.com/Seized-Eve-LaPlante/dp/0595094317/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-7063595-6236709?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181680081&sr=8-1
