Psychiatric disorders in children with temporal lobe epilepsy: a controlled investigation

G D Shukla et al. Indian J Psychiatry. 1981 Jan.

Abstract

Twenty five children each with temporal lobe epilepsy and grand mal epilepsy, both diagnosed electroencephalographically were studied for psychiatric disorders. Temporal lobe epileptics had such disturbances much more oftener. The commonest diagnostic label in both the groups was behaviour disorder, followed by neuroses. Schizophrenia was seen only in temporal lobe epileptics.
