I am having interview with employment officer tomorrow and I ma not sure if I should tell an employer about my epilepsy? I am worried about his reaction. I’ve been without seizures for more that year.
If you think an employer needs to know that you have epilepsy, then it is better to tell them, but if your seizures are so infrequent that they don't interfere with your work, then you may decide that the employer does not need to know. The way you react to your epilepsy determines the reactions of others, including employers. Being prepared to talk openly and to explain your epilepsy at interviews is better than simply stating that you have epilepsy, after all, a job interview is all about your ability to do the job.
