Patients with epilepsy can get married. Consider not getting married only if the patient has recurrent seizures that cause mental impairment or loss of work capacity. When a person with epilepsy marries, it is important to plan for pregnancy because antiepileptic drugs have teratogenic effects. The incidence of epilepsy also increases during pregnancy in female patients. Genetic testing during pregnancy can now be predicted, so the vast majority will not cause epilepsy in their offspring, and normal marriage should not be a problem. Even if the gene for epilepsy is present, it is not 100% inherited to the next generation, and the chance of inheriting epilepsy is very small.
