About The Author

Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan has been a consultant in neurology since 2004, first working at The Royal London Hospital and now as a consultant in clinical neurophysiology and neurology at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and for a specialist unit based at the Epilepsy Society. She specialises in the investigation of complex epilepsy and also has an active interest in psychogenic disorders. Suzanne's first book It's All in Your Head, won both the Wellcome Book Prize and the Royal Society of Biology Book Prize and The Sleeping Beauties was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize. She is from Dublin, Ireland.

The Age of Diagnosis slices through the confusion and the contradictions that have tied me in knots – both as a parent and as a clinician – with grace, elegance and compassion. It is scholarly, human but most importantly it's an absolutely absorbing read from start to finish. There are very few people who could write this so straightforwardly and yet with endless compassion. The book covers so many topics that have been troubling me but which I hadn't been able to resolve myself. I really cannot say good enough things about it.
