^*The global socio-demographic characteristics of treated patients according to the responding physicians showed that 45 of the respondents saw more patients from the middle class than from the higher class. More than 52 neurologists thought that less than 50% of their patients had health insurance. However, 57% of the neurologists thought that generalized seizures were frequently encountered. ^**The three classes have been defined according to this Moroccan report “Bourqia R.: La stratification sociale marocaine: Note de Synthèse/2006.”
