    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Epilepsy affects a significant portion of the population, with a high comorbidity of mental health conditions.
    • Depression is frequently studied, but anxiety disorders are equally or more prevalent in epilepsy patients.
    • Psychiatric comorbidities can severely diminish quality of life in individuals with epilepsy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the prevalence and impact of mental health disorders in epilepsy.
    • To emphasize the underdiagnosis and undertreatment of anxiety disorders in this population.
    • To advocate for increased attention to psychiatric symptoms in epilepsy care.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on mental health comorbidities in epilepsy.
    • Analysis of prevalence data for depression and anxiety disorders.
    • Assessment of the impact of psychiatric symptoms on quality of life.

    Main Results:

    • Up to 25% of individuals with epilepsy experience mental health disorders.
    • Anxiety disorders are as common, or more common, than depression in epilepsy.
    • Untreated psychiatric symptoms negatively affect quality of life more than seizures themselves.

    Conclusions:

    • Mental health disorders are a significant concern for people with epilepsy.
    • Anxiety disorders require greater clinical attention in epilepsy management.
    • Integrated care approaches are needed to address both seizures and psychiatric comorbidities.
