Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology: Principles and Practice AB - In this chapter, we review the current state of knowledge regarding the various areas of overlap between the fields of epilepsy and psychiatry. After a brief discussion of the phenomenology, pathophysiology, and clinical approach to epilepsy in general, we discuss the various psychiatric and cognitive manifestations of epilepsy. Neuropsychiatric symptomatology in epilepsy can be broadly divided between peri-ictal symptoms and interictal symptoms. The former bear a direct temporal relationship to seizures while the latter do not. Lastly, we discuss the neuropsychiatric impact of epilepsy treatments and the special considerations necessary for psychopharmacological management in patients with epilepsy (PWE).
