This review covers neurobehavioral issues in epilepsy, including psychopathology, psychosis, and personality traits. It also examines cognitive function and quality of life impacts, plus medication side effects.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Epilepsy is frequently associated with a range of psychiatric and neurobehavioral disturbances.
  • These comorbidities can significantly impact patient well-being and treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review the spectrum of neurobehavioral problems in epilepsy.
  • To discuss psychiatric disorders, personality traits, cognitive dysfunction, and quality of life issues in epilepsy patients.
  • To examine the neurobehavioral effects of antiepileptic drugs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of neurobehavioral problems in epilepsy.
  • Synthesis of findings on general psychopathology, interictal and postictal psychoses.
  • Review of interictal personality traits and higher cortical functions.

Main Results:

  • Epilepsy is linked to various psychiatric disorders, including interictal and postictal psychoses.
  • Specific interictal personality traits are observed in some individuals with epilepsy.
  • Disorders of higher cortical functions and reduced quality of life are common.
  • Antiepileptic drugs can exert neurobehavioral effects.

Conclusions:

  • Neurobehavioral problems are integral to the epilepsy experience.
  • Comprehensive assessment and management of psychiatric and cognitive aspects are crucial for holistic epilepsy care.
  • Further research into the neurobiological underpinnings and treatment of these comorbidities is warranted.
