A member asked:
Are people with epilepsy more at risk for covid-19 than the general population?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Uncontrolled epilepsy may put one at greater risk from the need to medical attention and exposure to multiple people. Otherwise the same health issues would apply to an epileptic as those apply to other indiciduals. Wish you good health!
