Abstract:
On the basis of a psychopathologically calibrated battery of tests, the effects of four drugs commonly prescribed for the alleviation of epilepsy (Valproinat, Carbamazepin, Diphenylhydantoin, and Primidon) were examined before and after optimisation of therapy. The positive psychotropic effect of Valproinat and Carbamazepin, and probably also of Diphenylhydantoin, consists in the acceleration of the psychic and motor rate and in the reduction of viscosity and perseveration.
