PROBLEMS OF SELECTED MENTAL DISORDERS DUE TO EPILEPSY

MUDr. Jozef Dragašek, MUDr. Milena Drímalová CSc
Psychiatrická klinika MFN a UK JLF v Martine

The authors provide an overview of the published literature on epilepsy and mental disorders due to epilepsy linked with their experiences. The mental disorders due to epilepsy are inadequately categorized by the current classifications. There are many mechanisms by which epilepsy may be associated with psychiatric symptoms. Psychiatric disorders in epilepsy often remain unrecognized and untreated. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is important for patient’s well being.

Keywords: Key words: epileptic depression, personality disorder in epilepsy, epileptic psychosis, epileptosis.
