Psychosis and epilepsy: seizure-type comparisons and high-risk variables

B P Hermann et al. J Clin Psychol. 1981 Oct.

Abstract

Compared 153 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and 79 patients with generalized epilepsy on the Goldberg Index, an MMPI-derived measure of psychosis. Analysis of covariance indicated that seizure type was not related to psychosis. Multiple regression analyses indicated that, in TLE, being female was correlated positively with Goldberg Index scores. In the group with generalized epilepsy, none of the variables was associated significantly with psychosis scores.
