Download or read book Personality Traits In A Sample Of Patients With Drug-Resistant Epilepsy In An Epilepsy Unit In Barcelona written by Eila Monteagudo Gimeno and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTIONEpilepsy is associated with an increased prevalence of psychopathology compared with the general population and it is present to a higher rate in drug resistant epilepsy (DRE), which makes treatment of DRE more complex, as it must not only focus on achieving seizure-freedom, but also on the management of psychiatric comorbidities amongst other complications (1). Since many years it has been investigated how epilepsy can affect the neural circuits mediating personality (2). It has been shown that it is likely that suffering from epileptic seizures negatively influences personality development and can result in the development of maladaptive personality traits (3). This can be seen to a higher extent in patients with DRE, who could show more marked personality traits. AIMTo describe the personality profile of a sample of patients with DRE from the Epilepsy Unit in Hospital Clinic in Barcelona during a 9-year period. METHODSRetrospective study of 453 patients diagnosed with DRE from the Epilepsy Unit of Hospital Clinic from 2008 to 2016. Clinical and sociodemographic variables were analyzed and patients completed the PDQ-4 (Personality Disorder Questionnaire-version 4), a psychometric questionnaire which consists of 99 items which describe symptoms of DSM-IV personality disorders.Analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics. RESULTSSociodemographic and presence of axis I disorders are shown in Figure 1. The results of the PDQ-4 are shown in Figure 2. CONCLUSIONThe results from our sample show moderate and high levels of psychopathology in different subtypes of personality disorders, being particularly high (scores>30) in all the areas except for narcissistic, antisocial and dependent. They are in accordance with previous data (3,4) and suggest that the presence of abnormal personality profiles in patients with epilepsy is high, being more severe in DRE. This implies an important concern as their recognition is essential in diagnosis and management as well as its presence can affect the ability to treat the underlying epilepsy (4) and has great impact on quality of life.Further investigation is required in order to provide more knowledge on this topic, with the objective of contributing to a complete and adequate approach of these patients.

Book excerpt: The human personality is inextricably bound up with the function of the central nervous system. Diseases and malfunctions of the brain, head injuries and neurosurgical operations can all result in permanently altered behaviour patterns. This interrelation between brain and behaviour is most clearly demonstrated in cases involving functional neurosurgery and severe traumatic lesions. Despite the fact that this interrelation represents an everyday challenge to the neurosurgeon, it is a question which receives less attention than it deserves in neurosurgical meetings. At the Third Convention of the Academia Eurasiana Neurochirurgica the following topics were discussed: - Meaning of human personality - Methodology of personality evaluation - Changes of personality as consequence of severe brain injuries - Epilepsy and personality - Aphasia and personality - Psychosurgery and personality

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epilepsy is one of most frequent neurological disorders affecting about 50 million people worldwide and 50% of them have at least another medical problem in comorbidity; sometimes this is a the cause of the epilepsy itself or it is due to shared neurobiological links between epilepsy and other medical conditions; other times it is a long-term consequence of the antiepileptic drug treatment. The Comorbidities of Epilepsy offers an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of all comorbidities of epilepsy (somatic, neurological and behavioral), by international authorities in the field of clinical epileptology, with an emphasis on epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management. This book includes also a critical appraisal of the methodological aspects and limitations of current research on this field. Pharmacological issues in the management of comorbidities are discussed, providing information on drug dosages, side effects and interactions, in order to enable the reader to manage these patients safely. The Comorbidities of Epilepsy is aimed at all health professionals dealing with people with epilepsy including neurologists, epileptologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, epilepsy specialist nurses and clinical researchers. Provides a comprehensive overview of somatic, neurological and behavioral co-morbidities of epilepsy Discusses up-to-date management of comorbidities of epilepsy Written by a group of international experts in the field

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Compiles into one source the important controversial issues of the psychiatric aspects of epilepsy, which have significant implications in clinical practice Authors are internationally recognized authorities in the field of psychiatric aspects of epilepsy

Download or read book Contemporary Psychiatry written by Fritz Henn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 2231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German version of this work has a long tradition, and this fourth edition is the first to see an English version. Its main feature is the international approach regarding both authors and topics. The four internationally renowned editors were able to acquire the leading specialists for each field as contributors to the book. No less than 120 authors, half of them from non-German speaking countries, ensure an extremely high standard and that cross-cultural aspects are considered. Another major feature is that the book presents the evidence such that it may be examined from at least four different entry points -- via basic disciplines of psychiatric knowledge about groups defined by demographic criteria. Detailed linkages to other chapters allow the inclusion of neighbouring disciplines, such as the neurosciences and molecular biology. Contemporary Psychiatry is also unique in including chapters on psychiatric disorders caused by catastrophes, disasters etc. -- aspects totally neglected by normal textbooks. While this book gives an overall view of the state of the art of psychiatric knowledge, it even goes so far as to suggest future perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this title was first published in 1971, there were about 300, 000 people with epilepsy in England and Wales. Nearly one-third of them were children. This book is an integrated review of how epileptic children behaved, and of how they were regarded by parents, teachers and peers at the time. Written by a sociologist with a training in psychology, human biology and education, the book draws on several disciplines – sociology, psychology, biology – in seeking to understand the complex determinants of deviant behaviour in children with epilepsy. The author considers in detail the lives of 118 epileptic children, bringing together and analysing a wide range of measurements of behaviour, social relations and abnormalities of brain function. He discusses how the children fare in school, and how epilepsy affects both the teacher’s perception of the child and the child’s scholastic performance. The dearth of medical centres which could diagnose and treat epilepsy at the time is examined, and hospital use according to parents’ social class is analysed. The author looks at the role of parents of epileptic children and shows that their attitude to epilepsy is of major importance for the child’s adjustment. The prejudice to which epileptic children and adolescents were subjected by the world at large is chronicled in detail. Finally the author considers how his empirical material makes a contribution to the theoretical problem of integrating sociology, psychology and biology into a single discipline concerned with the explanation of human social behaviour.
