The lack of information on epilepsy in those with epilepsy and those around them and the misconceptions about the disease result in the stigmatization of people with epilepsy. Consequently, the marriage and the employment rates of people with epilepsy have decreased, while the probability of depression has increased. The biopsychosocial health of the individuals with epilepsy must improve in order to combat stigma of epilepsy.

Keywords: Epilepsy, nursing, stigma.
