Abstract

Epilepsy, like other chronic conditions affecting the brain (multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's disease, migraine, and dementia), is associated with a higher incidence of mental disorders. Most studies show that up to 50% of patients with epilepsy have psychiatric pathology, mainly in the form of dysthymic, panic and psychotic disorders. The most common mental disorder in epilepsy is depression [6]. However, despite this unequivocal statement, it must be pointed out that the term depression does not fully reflect the current understanding of this condition.
