I'm an epileptic so let me tell you how it works.
Every state has a different set of criteria which must be followed. As an example, in my state, when its' first determined an individual is epileptic his or her doctor is obligated to notify the state motor vehicle agency. The agency will have the patient surrender their license. The patient must wait until they are seizure free for six months to a year at which time their doctor can provide a statement that the individuals' seizures are under control. Usually the license is reinstated, but requires the driver to provide periodic updates to the motor vehicle agency.
By the way, for those out there who think epileptics, like me are just driving around smashing into cars and pedestrians, watch out and look up; you have a better chance of being hit on the head by a falling meteorite than getting into an auto accident with an epileptic. And for those who think we're possessed all I can say is........BOO

Quote from source listed:
Before 1949, people with epilepsy were not allowed to drive, said Dr. Allan Krumholz, director of the Maryland Epilepsy Center. Now, most people with epilepsy that is under control may drive in most states. People with uncontrolled seizures are not supposed to drive in any state.
