Article Synopsis
- The study compared neuropsychological and psychiatric outcomes in patients with poorly controlled idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and those with medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
- Patients with IGE demonstrated longer completion times on cognitive tests and lower performance IQ than those with TLE, despite experiencing more seizures.
- Interestingly, IGE patients reported lower depression scores, which were inversely correlated with the duration of their epilepsy, suggesting different underlying neurological processes between the two conditions.
