Depression in Epilepsy: Significance and Phenomenology
Abstract
Depression is common in epileptics, but few studies of this relationship exist. We investigated the prevalence of depression in comparably disabled outpatients and its phenomenology in psychiatrically hospitalized inpatients. Fifty-five percent of 175 outpatient epileptics and 30% of 70 matched controls reported depression; 30% of epileptics vs 7% of controls reported prior suicide attempts. Epileptics were four times more likely to have been hospitalized for depression than nonepileptics. Twenty depressed epileptic inpatients were characterized by "endogenous" rather than "neurotic" features with more psychotic traits, paranoia, and underlying chronic dysthymia. Sixteen patients had complex partial seizures, and ten of 11 patients had a lateralized electroencephalographic focus lateralized to the left hemisphere. These results suggest a specific epileptic psychosyndrome due to limbic dysfunction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
