You can hear a clip of an L. Ron Hubbard lecture here, where he states policy regarding Epilepsy (and calls professional medical treatment "gobbledegook"):

I am very interested in scientology. I was raised Catholic but am tiring of the guilt associated with my beliefs. Is there more information or manuals you can suggest to help me to understand this way of life? I am also wondering about how you deal with such illnesses as drug and alcohol abuse? Are these considered illnesses or is the person looked on as being a lazy flawed person?

to each there own. People are against Islamic faith, people you can practice what ever you like as long as it does not hurt anyone physically. I really would like to know what religion is truly excepted.

Amanda Hugen,
Show us the case files of said people!

Fact is Scientology does not believe in mental disorders and that is why Jett was never even diagnosed.
Keep in mind this is the same group responsible for the death of Lisa McPherson. And how they treat their own staff.

Scientology''s record on medications and their beliefs regarding anything psychiatric are well documented.

See http://www.scientology-lies.com/faq/teachings/medical-drugs.html for additional information.
