Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes chronic seizures. The disorder presents in very different ways between patients, with some having predictable or preventable seizures and others having no clear cause for the condition. 

The disruptive nature of seizures makes driving with epilepsy dangerous for some. However, many individuals with epilepsy can drive safely and consistently in compliance with state laws.

Epilepsy affects roughly 1.1 percent of the adult population of the United States and about 65 million people across the world. Anyone can develop epilepsy, but it’s most common in children and seniors, with roughly 1 million adults over 55 and more than 450,000 minors in the U.S. having the disorder. 

Epilepsy can come in many forms and has different effects on each patient. However, roughly 70 percent of people with epilepsy can successfully manage their seizures with medication.
