Epilepsy is an occasional and excessive and disorderly discharge of the neuons. Epileptic attack is the manifestation of a paroxymal disharge of abnormal electrical rythms in some part of the brain. If one adds that such discharges are likely to be repetitive, one has defined the cardial features of epilepsy. Sometimes psychiatric dilliculties such as deficits in attention, memory, motor speed and aberrant personality changes, amciety, depression, psychosis may be seen during the course of the illness. Antiepileptic drugs themselves which ceases neurobehavioral disorders could lead to cognitive dysfunctions. Neuropyschiatric symptoms may occur at the preictal, postictal and interictal periods of epileptic seizure and also sometimes one psychiatric symptom may be the only sign of the seizure. Because of this, epilepsy is important for both neurology and psychiatry. In this review, we aimed to investigate the common psychiatric dilliculties that can be seen during the course of epilepsy.
