This hub covers epilepsy comorbidities, which are the other conditions that often show up alongside seizures (like ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, and sleep issues). Plain-language research takeaways for families.
Often both. Shared brain networks, stress, sleep disruption, and medication effects can all contribute.
Track timing: New symptoms after med changes or dose increases may point to side effects.
If school is hard, attention/memory changes, or there’s concern about learning, yes, it can guide supports.
Sometimes. Improving sleep and stress can reduce seizure susceptibility in some people.
This study looked at how the environment affects walking, stress, and anxiety in adults with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
Researchers studied a 5-year-old boy who had both X-linked ichthyosis (a skin condition) and epilepsy (seizures).
This study focused on developing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help detect epileptic spasms (ES) using a combination of video and brain wave data (EEG).
This study looked at children born to women with epilepsy to see if they have a higher genetic risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, like ADHD and autism, compared to children whose mothers do not have epilepsy.
This study looked at how often psychiatric disorders, like depression and anxiety, occur alongside neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
This study looked at childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), a common type of epilepsy that affects children, particularly those in school.
Researchers studied the relationship between tau protein changes and epilepsy, particularly in adults over 55 years old.
Researchers studied the effects of a treatment called Liposom Forte, which contains hypothalamic phospholipids, in three patients with different neurological disorders.
This study looked at the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children with epilepsy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
