摘要
We reviewed the medical records of 157 adult (>= 18 years) patients with firmly diagnosed idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) to investigate the extent and the type of psychiatric comorbidity and its relationship to various IGE syndromes and other epilepsy-related neurobioloaical factors. Forty-one patients (26.1%, 14 men and 27 women, median age: 34.0 years, range: 18-68, mean: 36.5) had comorbid mental disorders according to the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) criteria, with four patients having a dual diagnosis. Mood disorders were the most common comorbid mental disorder (46.7%), followed by anxiety-panic disorder (26.7%). Cornorbid psychiatric disorders occurred in all syndromes and in association with all seizure types, and, as in focal epilepsies, seizure control was significantly better in patients without psychiatric comorbidity (40.5% vs 19.5%, chi(2)(1) = 5.873, P = 0.015).
