Abstract

Up to one-quarter of people with epilepsy have mental health disorders in addition to seizures. Depression has received the most attention although anxiety disorders occur just as frequently, if not more so. Even though psychiatric symptoms can reduce quality of life more than epileptic seizures, they continue to go unnoticed and untreated.
