“…However, their conclusion seems rather conflicting after surveying previous reports on this topic. The incidence of TLE in PWEs amounts to 67.5% when including results of previous reports (Table 5) [Gastaut et al 1956;Bartlet, 1957;Guerrant, 1962;Slater and Beard, 1963;Boudin et al 1963;Bruens, 1971;Shukla, 1979;Perez and Trimble, 1980;Parnas et al 1982;Garyfallos et al 1988;Adachi et al 2000;Kanemoto et al 2001;Matsuura et al 2004].…”

Apart from the rather rare ictal psychotic events, such as non-convulsive status epilepticus, modern epileptic psychoses have been categorized into three main types; chronic and acute interictal psychoses (IIPs) and postictal psychosis (PIP). Together, they comprise 95% of psychoses in patients with epilepsy (PWE). Four major questions, that is, "Is psychosis in PWE a direct consequence of epilepsy or schizophrenia induced by epilepsy?", "Is psychosis in PWE homogeneous or heterogeneous?", "Does psychosis in PWE have symptomatological differences from schizophrenia and related disorders?", "Is psychosis in PWE uniquely associated with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE)?" are tried to be answered in this review with relevant case presentations. In the final section, we propose a tentative classification of psychotic illness in PWE, with special attention to those who have undergone epilepsy surgery. Psychotic disorders in PWE are often overlooked, mistreated, and consequently lingering on needlessly. While early diagnosis is unanimously supported as a first step to avoid this delay, necessity of switching from antiepileptic drugs with supposedly adverse psychotopic effects. to others is more controversial. To elucidate the riddle of alternative psychosis, we need badly further reliable data.

“…Using the Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS), Edeh & Toone (1 1) found 48% cases of primarily minor mental disorder in London general practices, Gureje (13) reported 37% psychiatric cases in a neurological outpatient clinic in Nigeria, with 10.8 % being diagnosed as psychosis. In a neurological clinic, the epilepsy center of a psychiatric hospital and in a neurological private practice in Greece, 41 of 10 1 epilepsy patients (n = 65 temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), IZ = 36 non-TLE) had mental disorders (DSM-IT1 diagnoses on Axis I) (12). Eight TLE and no non-TLE patients suffered from an organic delusional syndrome.…”

In a prospective comparative study of children born to mothers with epilepsy and to healthy controls, maternal psychopathology, family functioning and the effects of maternal psychopathology and family functioning on child mental status were investigated. The instruments used were the Present State Examination (PSE), the Past History Schedule (PHS), a psychiatric interview for preschool children and a structured interview about family functioning. Interviewers were blind to the clinical status of the mother. The group of mothers with epilepsy differed from the control group only regarding a higher prevalence of minor psychopathology and in 1 of 4 areas of family functioning. There was no difference between mothers with epilepsy and the control group regarding major psychopathology, and almost no differences regarding family functioning. The effect of maternal psychopathology on child mental status was mediated by disturbed family functioning only in the epilepsy group.

“…Hypothalamus controls flight or fight reaction by regulating autonomic and neuroendocrine responses, (8) and amygdala in limbic system mediates impulses from the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus and can regulate the emotional content of cognition so that any damage can lead to emotional liability and impairment of impulse control (28,29).…”

Traumatic brain injury is the first cause of death and disability in children and young adults in worldwide. During the acute phase of recovery from moderate to severe brain injury, a period of post-traumatic confusion state (PTCS) will arise that is a combination of cognitive and behavioral dysfunction. Seven key symptoms of PTCS are identified and measured by Confusion Assessment Protocol (CAP) Agitation can be part of PTCS in the acute phase or, part of the recovery of consciousness in chronic phase. There are different hypothesis and classifications of acute and chronic post-traumatic aggressive syndromes. While post-traumatic aggression is common, its mechanism, assessment tool, outcome and treatment plans are not well-defined. Understanding the different aspects of post-traumatic aggression; mechanism, differential diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed in this article.
