Stigma, emotional aspects, and psychological symptoms in individuals with epilepsy.

The relationship between stigma and psychological aspects in adults with epilepsy is poorly studied. The Stigma Scale of Epilepsy (SSE) was related to the Factorial Neuroticism Scale (FNS), Symptoms Assessment Scale-40 (SAS-40), and clinical aspects of 71 individuals with epilepsy, at a significance level of p < 0.05.

Epilepsy is surrounded by prejudice and stigma. Little is known about the perception of stigma by cohabiting relatives (CR) of people with epilepsy (PWE). The study investigated whether the Stigma Scale of Epilepsy (SSE) scores of 90 CR and 148 adult PWE were related to the PWE's clinical aspects and QOLIE-31 at a significance level of p<0.
