Epilepsy

Patients with epilepsy have higher rates of anxiety and depression than the general population and those with chronic conditions, and especially high in those patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy. Psychiatric symptoms are more common in patients with focal epilepsy compared to generalized epilepsy (Stephen et al, 2017).
