The relationship between epilepsy and behavioral disturbances has been a subject of controversy since the 19th century. Affective changes may occur prior, during, or after the ictal discharge. Depression is the most prevalent comorbidity. Anxiety, panic attacks, and pseudoseizures may resemble complex partial seizures, and their diagnosis and treatment may be confusing, even to experienced clinicians. Epilepsy-related psychosis is less common, manifesting occasionally with symptoms that are indistinguishable from schizophrenia. There is no clear evidence of a distinct "epileptoid" personality, and interictal violence is extremely rare. Pharmacologic treatment with anticonvulsants remains the cornerstone of treatment. In case of psychiatric comorbidities or refractory seizures, the diagnosis should be re-examined.
