Dear Debbie and Dear Danny
If you’re a teenager and have a question about epilepsy, but can’t find an answer on this website, you can ask Debbie or Danny. They are members of our advice and information team.
Debbie and Danny will post your questions and their replies here on the website. They can’t guarantee to answer every question they receive, but they will try.
This section of the website is specifically for teenagers. If you’re not a teenager, please send your questions to helpline@epilepsy.org.uk. You’ll receive a personal reply within a few days.
Have a look and see what kinds of questions other people are asking before you ask your question:
If your question is private, or you'd like your reply emailed to you instead of being shown on the website, then please contact our Advice and Information team on the Epilepsy Helpline, freephone 0808 800 5050 or use the email Helpline.
