Evaluating the prevalence and risk factors for depression in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis: A cross-sectional multicenter study

CONCLUSION: We explored the differences in depression prevalence between TLE-HS and other epilepsy types and concluded they are minimal but slightly higher in TLE-HS. Predictors of depression such as seizure frequency and disease duration influenced MDD prevalence in TLE-HS. Lamotrigine and valproate were linked to higher NDDI-E scores.PMID:38636108 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2024.109782
