I have a mild seizure problem because of an epilepsy. Would the DMV(Department of Motor and Vehicles) still grant me a driver's license because of this problem even though this problem was already controlled by medication?

As long as the seizures are well-controlled by medication and your doctor can verify this, with a written statement, I see little to no problem with you operating a motor vehicle. I have even heard/known of professional operators.drivers with epilepsy who continue to drive with no problem as long as he/she is medication-compliant.

Maybe. There will be a medical records/review department that will make an assessment based on your medical history and medical recommendations based on the level of control.

Not quite sure of your location. But where I live ( Australia) No epileptic is permitted to drive a vehicle, operate machinery or work ate heights. All for good sensible reason

Yes they will,but if it happens after you start driving they will suspend your license for 3-12 months depending on what state you live in

might have to get a doctor to write you a letter.We sure don't need someone that has seizures in a 3ton veh.having a seizure but if a doctor says you are ready to drive then they will let you drive.
