In contrast to most sufferers of chronic diseases, epilepsy patients are only partially aware of the main characteristics of their condition, as many epileptic seizures are accompanied by various degrees of clouding of consciousness and amnesia for the event [1,2]. Accordingly, many patients learn about the crucial manifestations of their disease only by reports of relatives or other bystanders. The unpredictable nature of seizures can be experienced as particularly threatening not only due to possible physical harm but also due to possible embarrassment in case of seizures with loss of consciousness and motor control occurring in public.
