The many effects of being diagnosed with epilepsy. There are the many effects it has on my life. As well as the effects it has on me personally. And lastly, the effect of having to be on medicine. There are many ways that it effects my life. For one thing I can’t drive. Which is a major part because I need to depend on lots of people instead of just doing it myself, and it’s hard. Another way it effects my life is it makes me not want to sleep in the same room as people that aren’t family. Because, I’m afraid if I do ill freak them out if I an episode. A third way that effects my life is it is hard not to tell some people in some circumstances, but I hate the way changes things after I do. I feel they look at me and even treat me different.
