If one of your friends, someone in your family, or someone else you know has epilepsy, you might wonder what you can do to help them.

Epilepsy affects everyone differently. The type of seizures and how often they have them varies from person to person. There’s lots of information about epilepsy on our website, but sometimes the best way to find out about someone’s epilepsy is to ask the person themselves.

One very useful thing to know is what to do if someone has a seizure, for example.

Although some people are very open about their epilepsy, other people might prefer not to talk about it. Sometimes all you can do is let the person you care about know that you’re there for them if they do want to talk about their epilepsy.
