  • Title: Epilepsy in children and adolescents.
    Author: Thiele EA, Gonzalez-Heydrich J, Riviello JJ.
    Journal: Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am; 1999 Oct; 8(4):671-94. PubMed ID: 10553198.
    Abstract:
    Epilepsy is common in the pediatric population and can significantly affect the health and quality of life of the child and family. There are many causes of childhood seizures and many forms of treatment, including pharmacologic and surgical modalities. Psychiatric disease occurs with higher incidence in children with epilepsy, and psychiatric disease in children also must be differentiated from epilepsy. Many medications are used to treat epilepsy and psychiatric disease, all of which interact with each other pharmacodynamically, as well as acting on the clinical manifestations of the disorders. These factors, and the complicated interface between epilepsy and psychiatry, must be considered in the successful management of children with epilepsy.
