Background: Epilepsy, the most common neurological disorder in children, may present with many psychiatric comorbidities, the most common of which is depression. Aim of the Work: We evaluated the frequency of depressive symptoms in epileptic children, with regard to the possible association between depression and their demographic data or seizure-related variables. Patients and Methods: This cohort study was conducted on 80 children (6-13 years old) diagnosed as idiopathic epilepsy and were regularly recruiting the pediatric neurology clinic at Minya University Children Hospital. The Structured Birleson Depression Scale Questionnaire was used for assessment of presence of depressive symptoms, and Quality Of Life in Epilepsy (QOLIE-31) score was used to assess quality of life in those patients. Results: Depressive symptoms were found in 37.5% of enrolled patients. There were statistically significant differences between the patients with depressive symptoms and the other group regarding age (p=0.001), residence (p=0.006) and past history of mood disorders (p=0.03). Sleep disturbance was the highest predictor of depression in cases with depressive symptoms, detected in 90% of cases, followed by appetite disturbance in 86.6% of cases, while delusions and hallucinations were the lowest, detected in only 10% of cases. Both duration of epilepsy and frequency of seizures were significantly higher in cases with depressive symptoms than the other group (p=0.001) for both. QOLIE score was significantly lower in cases with depressive symptoms than the other group (p= 0.01 for all). Conclusion: Depressive symptoms are common in epileptic children, and it is often challenging and underestimated. It should be screened during the management of such children. Early diagnosis and more comprehensive package of care for depression in epileptic children will enable them to have a better quality of life.

“…46 In the United States, 13.1% of children with epilepsy have depression and 23.3% have anxiety. 47 Intellectual disability is also common in SWS, noted in 60% of 44 Feeling a sense of being different from others due to their appearance leading to isolation, especially if they are teased about their birthmark Avoiding intimate behaviors due to embarrassment about their appearance Need to educate others due to a lack of sympathy or underestimation of the impact of the skin condition on the individual's life by medical professionals Feeling a sense of powerlessness and separation as many individuals have been viewed as having "special needs" due to their skin condition Impact of visible skin disease on parents and caregivers (Ablett and Thompson) 44 Treatments for skin disease are often time consuming, which takes away from spending time with spouses, other family members, and work Feeling psychological strain when strangers make comments about their child's skin condition and during painful treatments for the skin condition Feeling blamed for not preventing sequela of the skin disease Negative impact of treatments for visible skin disease on patients (Ablett and Thompson 44 and Bemmels et al 45 )…”

Background: Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a sporadic, neurocutaneous syndrome involving the skin, brain, and eyes. Because of the variability of the clinical manifestations and the lack of prospective studies, consensus recommendations for management and treatment of SWS have not been published. Objective: This article consolidates the current literature with expert opinion to make recommendations to guide the neuroimaging evaluation and the management of the neurological and ophthalmologic features of SWS. Methods: Thirteen national peer-recognized experts in neurology, radiology, and ophthalmology with experience treating patients with SWS were assembled. Key topics and questions were formulated for each group and included (1) risk stratification, (2) indications for referral, and (3) optimum treatment strategies. An extensive PubMed search was performed of English language articles published in 2008 to 2018, as well as recent studies identified by the expert panel. The panel made clinical practice recommendations. Conclusions: Children with a high-risk facial port-wine birthmark (PWB) should be referred to a pediatric neurologist and a pediatric ophthalmologist for baseline evaluation and periodic follow-up. In newborns and infants with a high-risk PWB and no history of seizures or neurological symptoms, routine screening for brain involvement is not recommended, but brain imaging can be performed in select cases. Routine follow-up neuroimaging is not recommended in children with SWS and stable neurocognitive symptoms.

Depression is caused by several factors, by knowing these factors can be done to prevent depression in school-age children, so that the incidence of depression in school-age children can be minimized. This study aims to determine the factors that influence depression in school-age children.Methods: The method used in this research is the study of literature. Researchers reviewed 10 articles sourced from Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Springer Link with keywords risk factor, depression, and school-age children.Results: The results of the literature study indicate that the factors that influence depression in school-age children, namely the pressure experienced every day, the school environment, family environment, family finances, maternal depression, premature, and emotional intelligence.Conclusion: Further quantitative research on the factors that influence depression can provide a real picture of the causes of depression in school-aged children in Indonesia.
