If you’re a teenager with epilepsy, you might have all sorts of questions about how epilepsy could affect your life. Will I be able to drink alcohol and go clubbing? Can I go on holiday? How will my school life be affected? We hope that the information in the following pages will help you.

Young people silhouetteIf you have any questions about your epilepsy that aren’t answered on these web pages, there are a number of people who can help you. Remember that no question is silly. It’s your life and you have a right to know about epilepsy and your health.

 

Our thanks... 

Epilepsy Action would like to thank the young people who gave us their comments on Upfront.

Thanks also to Chrissy Thompson, Sapphire Nurse and Alisa Stevenson, Epilepsy Specialist Nurse, from Wakefield District PCT, for checking this information.
