Cognitive auras seem to be associated with depression and anxiety, especially in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Dissociative symptoms may occur as an aura or in the context of psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety or schizophrenia. This is a cross-sectional study of 62 patients with TLE, using personality and dissociation measures to investigate their relationship with the presence of aura and its different subtypes. Our findings show no difference in psychopathology in patients with different types of aura and reveal that dissociative symptoms correlate with specific measures of anxiety, suggesting a possible link between these experiences and anxiety disorders.
认知性先兆似乎与抑郁和焦虑有关，尤其是在颞叶癫痫（TLE）患者中。分离性症状可能作为一种先兆出现，或在诸如抑郁、焦虑或精神分裂症等精神障碍的背景下出现。这是一项对62例TLE患者的横断面研究，采用人格和分离测量方法来研究它们与先兆的存在及其不同亚型之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明，不同类型先兆的患者在精神病理学方面没有差异，并揭示分离性症状与特定的焦虑测量指标相关，提示这些体验与焦虑症之间可能存在联系。
