What do you do if you have epilepsy?

In: Conditions and Diseases, Epilepsy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Live as normal a life as possible. For most people that have epilepsy, it does not affect most aspects of their lives. They may be restricted in some ways, but most things they can do perfectly normally. It is only if they get very serious seizures and get them very regularly, that it has any major impact on their lives. If you have epilepsy, then talk to your doctor about it and they will tell you where your limits are. Everyone is different.
