Produktinformationen zu „Psychiatric Controversies in Epilepsy “
This reference presents controversial clinical issues of the psychiatric aspects of epilepsy. By exploring the overlapping and sometimes opposing treatments of this patient population by psychiatry and neurology specialties, the book seeks to provide practitioners with insight into how to offer better care. It explores the reasons behind the poor communication between psychiatrists and neurologists and suggests potential remedies to this important problem. A high priority is placed on identifying the causes behind the high rate of comorbidity between epilepsy and mood, anxiety, psychotic and attention deficit disorders, and a specific review of the evidence of common pathogenic mechanisms that may be operant in epilepsy and these psychiatric disorders is included. Several chapters are devoted to rectify common misunderstandings of the use of psychotropic drugs in patients with epilepsy, including the use of antidepressant and central nervous system stimulants.

Klappentext zu „Psychiatric Controversies in Epilepsy “
Psychiatric Controversies in Epilepsy addresses controversial clinical issues of the psychiatric aspects of epilepsy. The book explores the reasons behind the poor communication between psychiatrists and neurologists and suggests potential remedies to this important problem, and two chapters are devoted to examining whether psychiatrists and neurologists are properly trained to recognize and treat conditions that both disciplines commonly encounter in clinical practice. Identification of the causes behind the high rate of comorbidity between epilepsy and mood, anxiety, psychotic and attention deficit disorders is given high priority in the volume, and a specific review of the evidence of common pathogenic mechanisms that may be operant in epilepsy and these psychiatric disorders is included. Recently identified bidirectional relationship between mood disorders and epilepsy and its implication in the course and response to treatment of the seizure disorder are also explored. Several chapters are devoted to rectify common misunderstandings of the use of psychotropic drugs in patients with epilepsy, including the use of antidepressant and central nervous system stimulants. Finally, one chapter explores the possibility of organic causes of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
