The study attempted to describe the needs, attitudes and opinions of epileptics. A total of 45 Epileptics participated in the research. Variables such as employment, problems faced by epileptics, legal and social services, epilepsy awareness, social stigma and future research were examined. A descriptive analysis was employed in this study. The results indicated that because of a lack of epilepsy education, job discrimination, direct services, and because of social stigmatism, the Epileptic is often faced with more problems that are associated with epilepsy than the epilepsy itself.
