使用2种精神病理学问卷测量（GHQ [一般健康问卷]和CCEI [Crown-Crisp经验指数]）评估精神病机构未知的慢性癫痫门诊患者的精神病发病率。将近一半的癫痫患者被归类为可能的精神病病例。精神病发病率是更普遍和更严重的，在这一组比对照组的慢性神经科门诊病人。抑郁、焦虑和癔病性精神障碍是精神损害癫痫患者最常见的特征。癫痫的类型和严重程度影响精神病发病的程度和模式。与以前的研究结果相反，发病年龄与精神病理学无关。
The psychiatric morbidity of chronic epileptic out-patients unknown to psychiatric agencies was assessed using 2 questionnaire measures of psychopathology (GHQ [General Health Questionnaire] and CCEI [Crown-Crisp Experiential Index]). Nearly half of the epileptics were classified as probable psychiatric cases. Psychiatric morbidity was both more prevalent and more severe in this group than in a comparison group of chronic neurological out-patients. Depression, anxieity and hysterical symptomatology were the commonest characteristics of psychiatrically impaired epileptics. The type and severity of epilepsy influenced both the degree and pattern of psychiatric morbidity. Contrary to previous findings, age of onset had no relation to psychopathology.
