You don't need to tell everyone about your epilepsy.

It depends on how often you have seizures and how you feel about telling your friends.

If you have seizures when you are with your friends, they should know what's going on and what to do. Some people only have seizures at night when they are asleep.

Even if your seizure medicine stops all your seizures, you might find that it feels good to talk about your epilepsy with your close friends.

It's really up to you.
