The collect of information has been done through observation of the environment, interviews and group-discussions. A sample of 104 persons has been obtained through a probation at three degrees. At the end of the survey, the characteristics of the population and the ecosystem of the investigated region has been studied, as well as the impact of professionals in traditional medicine and the difficulties of the epileptic man in his socio-cultural environment.
