Patient's question:
A friend of mine is always mentally unstable, sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy. What are the causes of psychiatric disorders associated with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
First, epilepsy is generally a recurrent disease. If it is accompanied by mental disorders, it is first necessary to determine if there is a relationship with epilepsy. It is recommended that you undergo further examination in the neurology department. An MRI of the head can be performed to check if there are other issues in the brain. Even if there are no problems, it is still necessary to visit a psychiatric department to see if there is a secondary mental disorder. Generally, epilepsy accompanied by mental disorders is not very common.
