Sure: It depends on whether you can get effective treatment that allows you to function in a situation that requires consistent ability to deal with a crisis.

Agree w Dr. Forster: The issue is how well controlled the person's two conditions are. If either epilepsy or Bipolar Disorder are poorly controlled - that could endanger patient care.
