Structure and Syndromal Analysis of Depressions During Epilepsy in an Interactal Period
The prevalence and variants of depressive disorders that are formed in patients with epilepsy in the interictal period were studied. Syndromological analysis was carried out, and the severity of various forms of depressive pathology (organic, psychogenic, and endogenous) was studied. The specificity of the syndromes structure of interictal depressions in epilepsy was determined. It includes the presence of dysphoric manifestations. Depending on the form of depression, other psychopathological syndromes are added: somato-vegetative and asthenic ones - in organic depressions; somato-vegetative and anxious ones - in psychogenic depressions; and apathetic ones - in endogenous depressions. The results of the study indicate the heterogeneity of depressive pathology in the interictal period, according to genesis and clinical picture, which should be taken into account in therapeutic work with patients with epilepsy in the interictal period.
