“…There are other clues that the links between cognitive networks and depression are more nuanced in epilepsy than in psychiatric populations. While some studies show that depressed patients with epilepsy show depression-related cognitive biases, worse cognition, and greater risk of cognitive decline after epilepsy surgery than euthymic patients (e.g., [45][46][47], others fail to show such a relationship. (e.g., 48).…”

There is increasing recognition that detecting and treating mood disorders is a priority in the clinical care of individuals with epilepsy (1) given that these patients have a 43% greater likelihood of developing depression relative to healthy control subjects (2). Comorbid depression is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality (3), and affected individuals commonly perceive it as more debilitating than their seizures (4). The etiology of the comorbidity, however, remains unclear. The reframing of epilepsy as a disease of brain networks by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Commission on Classification and Terminology (5) underscores the aim of this review to examine the neurobiology of depression in epilepsy from the perspective of brain network dysfunction with a particular focus on the role of cognition-related networks.

“…Post hoc analysis yielded that parents of the children aged 10 to 12 years reported far more internalizing problems compared with children age 8 to 10 years. As longer duration of epilepsy is considered to be a risk factor for psychopathology [54][55][56][57], this could be expected. We could, however, not confirm this same finding for externalizing problems; these problems were reported to the same extent in both age groups.…”

Executive dysfunction and behavioral problems are common in children with epilepsy. Inhibition and shifting, both aspects of cognitive control, seem related to behavior problems and are thought to be driven mainly by the frontal lobes. We investigated if inhibition and shifting deficits are present in children with frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE). Secondly, we studied the relationship between these deficits and behavior problems. Thirtyone children were administered the Stroop Color Word Test and a digital version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Parents completed the Behavioral Rating Inventory for Executive Function (BRIEF) and the Achenbach scale (Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)). About 20% of the children displayed significant low results on the Stroop Effect. About 60% showed shifting problems on the WCST. Parents reported cognitive control and behavioral deficits in about a third of the children. Also, behavioral problems and deficits in inhibition and shifting in daily life (BRIEF) seem to be related. There were no correlations between questionnaires and the Stroop and the WCST. Only in the group of children with many perseverative errors there were especially high correlations between Inhibit of the BRIEF.

“…≤6 years) is associated with poorer emotional processing as well as impaired ability in facial emotion recognition. Studies have reported such defects in children with TLE (Brand et al, 2012). Meletti et al (2003) studied the ability to recognize facial emotion processing in Drug-Resistant Focal Epilepsy (DRFE) patients.…”

“…Difficulties in emotional processing could occur at different stages, including recording, evaluation, experiencing, awareness, and emotional expression, leading to behavioral symptoms (Baker, et al, 2010). Besides, healthy emotional processing is essential for emotional and social functioning (Brand et al, 2012;Ho et al, 2014;Marusak, Martin, Etkin, & Thomason, 2015).…”

“…Moreover, some researchers have stated that emotional dysfunction is more prevalent in individuals with epilepsy initiation of before the age of 6 years (early-onset), compared to those with epileptic sei-zures onset of after the age of 6 years (late-onset) (Hlobil, Rathore, Alexander, Sarma, & Radhakrishnan, 2008). The studies have also indicated a relationship between the age of patients and their severity of emotional impairment (Meletti et al, 2003;Brand et al, 2012;Amlerova et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2014). Nevertheless, most of these studies addressed some areas of emotional dysfunctions, such as facial emotion processing and disregarded other aspects of emotional processing, like emotional processing styles.…”

Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) could cause various emotional symptoms due to the damages imposed on the temporal lobe. This study aimed at comparing emotional processing between patients with early-and late-onset TLE and a healthy group. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, after a definitive diagnosis of TLE, 60 patients were compared with 60 healthy controls without any epilepsy to identify emotional-processing styles in them. The research instruments were the Emotional Processing Scale and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5 th Edition (DSM-5)-based psychiatric interview. The obtained data were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance by SPSS. Results: The present study results suggested significant differences in emotional processing between the investigated epileptic and non-epileptic groups (P<0.01). Besides, emotional processing indicated significant differences in intrusion, the lack of attunement, and dissociation subscales between patients with early-onset TLE, compared to those with late-onset TLE. Conclusion: The obtained data revealed more emotional processing dysfunction in patients affected by TLE, compared to the non-epileptics. Besides, in some subscales of emotional processing, there was more malfunctioning in the early-onset TLE group, compared to the late-onset TLE group.
