Feasibility of telephone-delivered therapy for common mental health difficulties embedded in pediatric epilepsy clinics.

CONCLUSION: A modular cognitive behavioral treatment delivered over the telephone by HCPs with limited experience of psychological therapy was feasible and effective in treating mental health problems in children and young people with epilepsy. Health-related Quality of Life also improved over the duration of treatment. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is needed to demonstrate efficacy of the intervention.
