What are the short and long term effects of epilepsy?
A boy at my school has epilepsy and he said that he will never be able to drive and he is only allowed specific jobs.
Can there be personality changes before a person has their first seizure?
Epilepsy is a physical illness, not a psychological or psychiatric one. So in general the answer is no. One reason for Epilepsy can be a head injury. A head injury in itself could cause problems for a person which might change their behaviour, but it would be nothing to do with the Epilepsy. A change in behaviour would be another side-effect of the head injury like the Epilepsy itself would be, but they have no connection to each other. Those would be rare, so as I said, the answer to your question would be no in the vast majority of cases.

What is the level of quality of life for someone with epilepsy?
That will depend on the type, severity and frequency of their seizures. Some people may get seizures very rarely and they be very mild, so their quality of life could be very good. At the other extreme, people may get very serious seizures and get lots of them every day. So their quality of life would be badly affected. For most people with epilepsy, their quality of life is quite good and the fact that they have epilepsy has little or no impact on their quality of life.

According to the Bible are mental disease and epilepsy caused by demonic possession?
No.
how can we possibly think that epilepsy is demon possessed. Jesus found these people in this condition that is recognised as epilepsy today.There was no word for this or any other type of disease of the mind and body,so if a person was struck down by such disease's then they would be ascribed to the devil/demons. The whole idea of the miracles was the fact that Jesus was illustrating that if you have enough faith to believe that Jesus can heal, then he will. On a couple of occasions Jesus told the person that he was healing that their faith had made them whole. Don't fall into the trap that these people were struck with the same illness's after Jesus left the scene. What would be the point. When Jesus heals he truly heals.

Can to travel in a plane if you have a ventricular shunt?
Yes you can travel in an airplane with a vp shunt. I recently flew from Michigan to Oregon and I have a vp shunt which was placed 6 years ago. One bit of advice though, a sinus decongestent seemed to help with the pressure on the return trip. On the first flight I got a very strong headache, which I believe was caused by the cabin (plane) pressure, so on the return trip I took an Advil Cold and Sinus med. This must work because I had no pressure or pain.
Can epilepsy be detected in a fetus?
It is not detected in a foetus and it would not be looked for. Epilepsy is diagnosed by someone having recurring seizures. It is not a disease like an infection that can be detected. People are not necessarily born with Epilepsy. Epilepsy is a generic term that covers a wide range of problems that cause seizures. Anyone that has seizures gets them for their own particular reasons. Not everyone gets them for the same reasons. A person could be in an accident and receive a head injury and as a result start to have seizures. Seizures come from a wide range of causes and a wide range of severity. Flashing lights are known to cause seizures, but that is only in about 3% to 5% of people who have Epilepsy, not all people who have it.
