PERSONALITY DISORDERS IN EPILEPSY AND THEIR PREVENTION.

Abstract

Annotation: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, but its influence extends beyond neurological symptoms and affects psychological well-being, social adaptation, and personality development. Personality disorders are frequently observed among individuals with epilepsy, often arising due to neurobiological changes, psychosocial stress, long-term stigma, and medication effects. This article examines the relationship between epilepsy and personality disorders, highlighting major risk factors, commonly observed personality changes, and the mechanisms through which epilepsy contributes to personality pathology.
