The impact of a depression self-management intervention on seizure activity.

CONCLUSIONS: This study found that participating in Project UPLIFT directly reduced the number of seizures experienced by participants with epilepsy. This was not mediated by the change in depression. Participation in Project UPLIFT also reduced their perceived seizure severity indirectly, through reducing their depressive symptoms. This suggests Project UPLIFT may have the potential to impact the health, healthcare costs, and well-being of people with epilepsy. PMID: 31648928 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
