The socio-professional evolution of 140 epileptic patients submitted to antiepileptic drug therapy is studied. Only barbiturates, hydantoin, primidone and trimethadione were administered to the patients, isolated or in association. The school, house keeper and professional activities were considered in the investigation. The socio-professional follow-up was investigated regarding to clinic manifestations, time of disease, frequency of seizures and electroencephalographic pattern. The results, analysed in percentage, led the author to the conclusion that in most epileptic patients, adequately controlled with drugs, the social and the professional problems can be avoided.
