[Depressive disorders in patients in remission of epilepsy]
Abstract:
Based on the complex study of 150 patients with different forms of epilepsy in the remission phase, we singled out a group of 68 (45.3%) patients with depressive disorders. Variants of depressive disorders and their EEG-characteristics were described. Depressive disorders were stratified by the causes, course and response to pharmacotherapy into following variants: depressive disorders caused by the epileptic process per se; organic depressive disorder and disorder of adaptation with depression and anxiety-depressive disorders. Functional neuroimaging methods suggest the involvement of both the limbic system and cortical structures, with the elevated activity of the left hemisphere, in the development of depression.
