Self-revelation patterns of epileptics who had their seizures under drug control were examined with questionnaire and interview procedures. Parents were found to be the clearly preferred targets for self-disclosure generally and for health-related information in particular. As expected, all respondents chose not to reveal their stigmatized condition to at least some persons significant to their life space, although as a group they varied in their openness to others. Negative attitudes on the part of parents toward epilepsy and toward revelation of the condition outside the family were seen to encourage a sense of secretiveness and social withdrawal
