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.

No. Epilepsy is a physical condition. Dyslexia is a learning disability. Most people with dyslexia have not got epilepsy and equally most people with epilepsy do not have dyslexia. It is possible for someone who has epilepsy to have dyslexia, but there is no connection, so it is just as equally possible for someone with dyslexia to have any other illness.

No. Epilepsy is a physical condition, not a mental illness or learning disability. Someone who has a lot of seizures could have their education disrupted because they may miss classes, but other than that, their ability to learn would not be affected by their epilepsy.
