Psychiatric test assessment of patients with psychomotor epilepsy
The American Journal of Psychiatry
|July 1, 1976
Abstract:
The authors evaluated the psychiatric status of 31 patients who had temporal lobectomies and 6 patients who received implantation of depth electrodes for relief of epileptic seizures. Results showed a general postoperative improvement in overall psychopathology (measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale) and in depression in particular; however, depression tended to recur with the passage of time after lobectomy.
