Reacting to a diagnosis
A diagnosis of epilepsy can affect people in different ways. Getting information about epilepsy and asking questions helps some people feel better about their diagnosis.
Epilepsy Society runs a confidential epilepsy helpline for anyone wanting to know more about epilepsy. This includes information on a wide range of topics and emotional support. The helpline is available on: 01494 601 400 (Monday - Friday, 10am - 4pm).
Online forums and support groups
If you would like to contact other people who have epilepsy, there are epilepsy support groups in the UK. Details of support groups are available from the helpline. Or you might like to join our online forum.
