The review of scientific literature has shown that epilepsy is associated with a large number of social and psychological problems. We have analyzed the cinema feature films from different countries in which different aspects of epilepsy or incorporated in the basic idea of the picture, or disclosed in a short episode. Studied scientific publications devoted to the study of a number of problems epileptology, most of which occurs in the movies. Based on the analysis of the scientific literature produced scientific interpretation of films. Revealed that the film works reveal the numerous problems of epilepsy, the most important of which are: reducing the problem of compliance, alternative methods of treatment of epilepsy, the difficulties of social adaptation. Also in the movie are displayed features of social insurance patients with this diagnosis, addresses the issue of driving a vehicle. In addition, the film shows the prevailing in the society myths and legends associated with epilepsy. Concluded that the feature films, reflecting the most significant social aspects of the disease, providing physicians the opportunity to look at this through the eyes of the layman pathology.
