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).
