Article Synopsis
- The study assessed obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) in 100 adult epilepsy outpatients, utilizing various psychological assessment tools like the OCI-R, BDI, and others.
- It found that epilepsy patients with OCS often exhibited obsessions and compulsions centered around symmetry and exactness, contrasting with OCD patients who showed more contamination, cleaning, and aggressiveness themes.
- Additionally, OCS prevalence was higher in patients with temporal lobe and extratemporal epilepsy compared to those with generalized epilepsy, and these symptoms were linked to higher levels of depression, dissociation, and schizotypy in epilepsy patients.
