Yes, it is. It attacks the least you expected it, anytime, anywhere.

It's an illness that can be a handicap. Some epileptics are unable to drive. That's a handicap for someone who wants or needs to work.

Epilepsy is not particularly a handicap, but an Epileptic person can be restrained from doing certain things as they are prone to seizure. For example it is not advisable for an Epileptic person to drive a car as he/she is at the risk of getting a seizure with out any particular time frame. But laws in different countries differ in their opinion on this matter.

No it is not a handicap it is an illness. Epileptics can lead normal lives, with a few restrictions, but otherwise they are fine.

depending on how often or how bad the seizures are.My son has epilepsy and is on meds..the meds control his seizures and when he does have them they are Not severe..they do not make his life any different.the thought of having a seizure scares him more then anything. He is 9...some people have Grand Mal seizures often and it disrupts there life's..Everyone is different. My son seems to be lucky..his disease doesn't interfere with his daily living

I think it is becuase there are certin things that you can not do if you have it becuase they could end in life threatening consiquences. Like go on rollarcoasters (I dont think) and I think lots of flashing lights can cause a seizure.
But I'm not completly sure on this subject. I've just known people who have it.

a handicap is anything that delays you from a "normal" life. epilepsy will do that because you have to be carful what you around or you may go into seizure.
