The effects of epilepsy?
Wed, 08/07/2013 - 01:09Hi everyone, Im a 16 year old girl who does not personally have epilepsy, but in saying that, my dad has been diagnosed with epilepsy for around 8 years now, so it has always been a part of my life. Im sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to ask, but for school I am doing a reasearch project about the effects of epilepsy, in the hopes of raising more awareness to inform others and to personally gain more knowledge. I know I can talk to my dad, but I also wanted to ask other people about their experiences and how epilepsy personally afftected/effetcs them. I understand not everyone may be forthcoming as it is personal, but really any information will be very helpful.
For examaple, some effects I mean could be memory loss, emotional effects, injuries, limitations (inability to drive, work etc), or any effetcs really. As I stated any information would be greatly appreciated and it will not be used for any other use apart from me gathing some information.
Thankyou.
