You should make sure that you tell your family, friends, coworkers, and teachers about your condition. If your seizures are under good control, you may want to limit the people that you tell, but should always inform your family and close friends. That way if something should happen to you around them they will not be afraid and will be in a better position to help you. Sometimes a person might react negatively what you tell them, but. This reaction is the result of misunderstandings that you can clear up.
Epilepsy is unpredictable.
A seizure can happen at anytime and in any place. That is why it is so important to take your medications. The correct amount of medication in your system is your number one defense against having an attack. There are certain situations that can increase the likelihood of having a seizure for some people. If you know what these are, you can avoid them and reduce the risk of having a seizure.
