title: [Psychiatric prognosis in epilepsies].
abstract: It was illustrated by examples how psychical disturbances of epileptics can be used as indicators a) for brain lesions which cause the epilepsy too, b) for epileptic activity of the brain itself, and c) for the consequences of epilepsies of long duration. Furthermore, how they can be used as predictors for the success of the epileptic during his life. This course-related arrangement of psychical disturbances which predict a negative prognosis corresponds with measures for prevention of the development of psychical disturbances, for therapeutic diminishing or removal of existing psychical disturbances, and for prophylaxis (or tertiary prevention resp.) of negative psychical consequences or relapses of epilepsy. These measures should improve the life-success of the epileptic patient.
