3 out of every 100 people will die 10 years younger than they would of lived if they didnt have epilepsy. 3% is a small chance.
It’s rare bud SUDUP ( sudden unexpected death from Epilepsy)
Can cause death.
Then there are the people who are suicidal because of their Epilepsy is possible .
I actually know someone that went to school with me I knew all three sisters but her youngest sister that was a couple of years behind us in age died in her sleep from a seizure. So yes it is possible and it’s always been one of my fears over the years as well.

I don’t see the point in living either so that’s why I think about suicide

I have had a seizure 2 times where I fell into water. I would have drowned to death if my dad and grandpa hadn’t saved me. I’ve also had a seizure and been found laying on the street where a car could have run over me and killed me. I battle suicidal thoughts now because I’ve never gotten to live the life like others and haven’t moved a step forward my whole life.
