Describing her struggle with epilepsy, Susan Boyle has revealed how her school years were ruined by fainting fits after she was diagnosed with epilepsy, the neurological disorder.

The 50-year-old singer has now said that her problems were heightened when doctors told her she was suffering with the neurological disorder, which is characterized by seizures.
"I was protected in cotton wool. They (parents) thought they were doing the right thing. They called me touchy. At school I used to faint a lot. It's something I've never talked about. I had epilepsy," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Daily Mail's Weekend magazine.
"People in the public eye don't have things like that. All through my childhood they'd say epilepsy is to do with mental function. And now I realise it's not. I was up against all those barriers. It wasn't easy," she added.
