Description: As many as two-thirds of people with epilepsy face some change in sexual desire, behavior, or activity as a result of their seizures. Even if this kind of problem has affected you, you may not have discussed it with your doctor or someone else who might provide real support and help. Doctors often are reluctant to bring up such intimate topics up in the course of a visit, and many patients do not feel comfortable talking about sex. According to one study, only 13% of epilepsy patients have had a conversation about sex with their doctor. Whatever the reasons behind the silence, there is no need to suffer.
