Not directly. If someone has Epilepsy it maybe as a result of some damage to the brain. If they have some damage to the brain, that may impair their ability to learn. In that situation, their epilepsy is just another symptom of the same thing that is causing their learning difficulties. Not everyone that has learning difficulties has epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy are well capable of learning and it has no impact on their capacity to learn. If their epilepsy causes them to miss out on regular education, which would only be with someone who has severe epilepsy, that will obviously affect their learning.

Is epilepsy a physical disability?

Epilepsy can considered a disability but it only effects some parts of the brain and for some people the effects are minimal, so it has little or no impact on their daily lives. For others it can cause major problems and so be very disabling for them. However, epilepsy can alter in it's severity. And a person's lifestyle can effect this. For instance alcohol will ensure that any medication(s) taken for epilepsy have no effect. The alcohol combating the effect of the medication. Sleep is also necessary to the epileptic. In the long - term, a healthy lifestyle can serve to create a person who has controlled epilepsy.

Can epilepsy cause a chronic cough?

It is highly unlikely that epilepsy would cause a cough of any kind. Epilepsy affects the brain, and although that in turn causes effects in other parts of the body, it would not cause a cough. The effects of epilepsy would only last during a seizure, whereas a chronic cough would be something that would be continuous. The cause of a problem cough would lie elsewhere.


Does epilepsy casue mental tension?

Epilepsy is a physical condition, not a psychiatric or psychological one. Having any kind of illness can make people feel tense or anxious or stressed, but very few cause that as a direct result of the illness. Epilepsy in itself does not cause mental tension.
