The outlook for a person that you describe is very good indeed. Around 70% of people will "Outgrow!" epilepic events before they reach the age of twenty. More common forms of epilepsy such as temproal lobe epilepsy usually show far less siezures as they become adults. Grand mal siezures can change into other types of events like they might start to have minor forms of epilepsy such as Simple partial seizures.. Many people will have a one-off seizure at some point in their lives, but not all seizures are due to epilepsy. Seizures can happen for many different reasons, such as diabetes or a heart condition. Epilepsy is different as it is a neurological condition where there is a tendency for people to have seizures that start in the brain. It is the most common serious neurological condition in the UK and possibly the world. One in every 131 people in the UK has epilepsy. This means that there are at least 456,000 people with epilepsy in the UK. Epilepsy is more common in children and people over 65, but anyone can develop epilepsy; it happens in all ages, races and social classes. There are over 40 types of epilepsy, so just knowing that a person ‘has epilepsy’ tells you very little information about their epilepsy and the seizures that they have.

I was diagnosed at the age of 10. I did not grow out my epilepsy, but I did have surgery. The surgery helped reduce the seizures and allowed me to get a drivers license. I still need to take meds. I do know people who had problems with epilepsy in school that grew out of it.
