A statistical analysis of 1499 admissions of epileptic patients to a hospital for the period of 1957--1969 taking into account the 11-year sun circle was conducted. A significant dependence of a course of epilepsy on massiveness of heliogeophysical factors (the Volph numbers, square of sun-spots and geomagnetic pole). At the periods of maximal sun activity a number of patients with initial diagnosis of epilepsy significantly increases (182 cases were studied for the period of 1968--1970). Establishing a relationship between occurrence or exaggeration of epilepsy and days of zero sun activity a reliable confirmation of "outstripping or lag" reaction was obtained.
