Patients with diagnosis of Epilepsy with Electroencephalogram (EEG) confirmation.
Depression and Quality of life.
The prevalence of current MDD was 11.9 %, and patients having at least 1 seizure per week were 5 times more likely to develop MDD (OR = 5.104, p = 0.014). The mean (SD) QOLIE-31 scores was 77.98 (13.32), with presence of MDD (β = -11.101, p = 0.0001); having at least 1 seizure/week (β = -6.653, p = 0.037) being independent predictors.
