abstract="The author analyses past concepts which still hold good today. Such concepts regard epilepsy as a mental disease and the epileptic is usually taken as someone suffering from a severe mental disorder, tending to criminal behaviour. The author proves, taking into account various statements from prominent personalities in the scientific world, that epilepsy is neither a mental disease nor a disease in its own sense, and that the epileptic has not an aggressive behaviour.<p /><p>Language: pt</p>",
