Answer 1

When people think of epilepsy they think of grand mal seizures.  There are several types of seizures that do NOT involve falling to the ground and having convulsions.  Also, in contrast to what many people believe, only about 10% of epileptics have seizures that can be triggered by flashing lights.

Most people with epilepsy can live a pretty normal life.
