“…Numerous studies have shown that youth with epilepsy tend to have higher rates of behavior difficulties than healthy children or children with other chronic diseases (19)(20)(21)(22). The prevalence and severity of depression and anxiety in this epileptic population seem to depend on whether or not the epilepsy is controlled.…”

“…The prevalence and severity of depression and anxiety in this epileptic population seem to depend on whether or not the epilepsy is controlled. Thiele et al studied 31 children and early adolescents with controlled epilepsy and showed that the epileptic group did not differ significantly from the age-matched control group in the self-assessment of well-being (21). However, studies of self-assessment of well-being in youngsters with intractable epilepsy did show a significant reduction in the subjective scoring of QOL (22).…”

The concept of quality of life (QOL) in adolescents with epilepsy is different from that of adolescents with other chronic diseases. For epileptic adolescents, QOL is more closely related to depression, anxiety and locus of control. Innovations in surgical treatment have done much to improve these patients' subjective quantification of their QOL.There are unique effects of neuropsychological influences on their self-awareness and self-assessment of QOL. These issues are reviewed together with the presentation and description of several instruments in current use for self-assessment of QOL in this population.
