| Abstract (English): |
Diseases have three dimensions: biological, psychological, and social, and epilepsy is no exception. Biological study, diagnosis, and treatment of epilepsy are as important as the psychological and social repercussions of this condition and its treatment, which must be considered for the full personal development and social integration of people with epilepsy. Therefore, guidelines should be established in the social sphere to advise and guide those who live with people with epilepsy in making decisions about education, work, driving, sports activities, and food and beverage consumption. Based on the most frequent concerns expressed by patients and relatives regarding these topics, this guide attempts to answer these questions with existing scientific evidence to achieve a greater understanding of the social aspects of epilepsy and how to act in social situations.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
Las enfermedades tienen tres dimensiones: biológica, psicológica y social, y la epilepsia no es la excepción, siendo tan relevantes el estudio diagnóstico y el tratamiento biológicos de la epilepsia, como las repercusiones psicológicas y sociales de este padecimiento y su tratamiento, los que deben tomarse en cuenta para un pleno desarrollo personal e integración social de las personas con epilepsia. Por esto, se deben establecer pautas de acción en el ámbito social para aconsejar y guiar a las personas que conviven con las personas con epilepsia en la toma de decisiones sobre temas de educación, trabajo, conducción de vehículos, actividades deportivas y el consumo de alimentos y bebidas. Basándose en las inquietudes más frecuentes manifestadas por los pacientes y familiares en lo referente a estos tópicos, esta guía trata de responder a estas interrogantes con la evidencia científica existente para lograr una mayor comprensión de los aspectos sociales de la epilepsia y la forma de actuar ante estas situaciones sociales.
