I don't think so. There aren't many seizure inducing features of Minecraft. Creepers, when about to explode, flash white a few times.

Are epileptics more stressed in general and do they deal with stress less constructively?

Not necessarily. There are all sorts of causes for seizures. Stress can be one of those. If someone has seizures that are not caused by stress, then they won't have a problem with that. People may get stressed because they have seizures, while for other people the fact that they have seizures doesn't worry them and they lead perfectly normal lives. The only thing they need to do is keep taking their medication and avoid their triggers for seizures.
