Should I tell my friends about my epilepsy?

Not everyone needs to know about your epilepsy. It depends on how often you have seizures and how you feel about telling your friends. If you have seizures during the time you are with your friends, they should know what's going on. Even if your seizure medicine stops all your seizures, you might find that it feels good to share information about your epilepsy with your close friends. It's really up to you.
