Article Synopsis
- Depression is prevalent in people with epilepsy, who show higher rates of depression compared to the general population.
- A review of 34 neuroimaging studies indicated specific brain activity patterns linked to depression in these patients, showing both hypoactivity and hyperactivity in crucial brain regions.
- The findings suggest that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may positively affect the brain areas involved in both depression and temporal lobe epilepsy, but more research is necessary to confirm CBT's effectiveness for these patients.
Purpose: To compare the prevalence of self-reported serious psychological distress using the Kessler 6 (K6) in persons with a history of epilepsy (PWE) to those without epilepsy from a population-based survey.
Methods: Data were analyzed from adults aged >or=18 years (n = 43,020) who participated in the 2005 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS).
Results: California adults with a history of epilepsy, after controlling for demographics and comorbidities, reported higher rates of feeling nervous [odds ratio (OR) 2.

A retrospective chart review was performed on 130 patients from the Ohio State University Memory Disorders Clinic to examine the long-term effects of combination therapy with donepezil and vitamin E on patients with Alzheimer disease. Subjects were included if they met National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association criteria for probable Alzheimer disease, had taken at least 5 mg donepezil and at least 1000 U vitamin E daily, had at least a 1-year follow-up while continuing these medications, and had a Mini-Mental State Examination score of 10-24. The Mini-Mental State Examination was then recorded annually thereafter.
