Behavioral problems of preschool children with new-onset epilepsy and one-year follow-up — A prospective study

ConclusionBehavioral comorbidities of epilepsy are present very early and can be seen at the time of the diagnosis, however, they do not worsen over time in preschool children. Maternal anxiety should be considered as a risk factor for behavioral problems in preschool children with epilepsy. Assisting children and parents and ensuring necessary guidance and support should be a crucial part of epilepsy treatment initiated as soon as the time of diagnosis.
