註釋

Epilepsy has been thought of as a degenerative neurological disease with inevitable intellectual deterioration, and few treatments for the disease were available. The thinking has changed, but what has remained is the fact that the amount and location of underlying brain injury contributes to pyschiatric problems of epileptic patients. In addition, some of the treatments that are effective in treating epilepsy are causing pyschiatric problems. Epilepsy has been associated with intellectual impairment, schizophrenia-like psychosis and affective disorders.
