Abstract
Seventy-three people with epilepsy showed a significant prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms compared to matched controls.
- People with epilepsy experience higher levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms than those without epilepsy.
- Health-related quality of life (QOL) scores are negatively impacted by poor sleep quality, insomnia, and depressive/anxiety symptoms.
- The use of multiple anti-epileptic drugs is linked to poorer quality of life.
- Quality of life is not significantly affected by the type or frequency of seizures.
