[The psychogenic factor in the clinical picture of epilepsy].
A study of 300 epileptic patients depicted that the first seizures in 8% of all cases appear following psychic shock traumas. Epileptic fits, unlike hysterical, appear more frequently not during the crucial phase of emotions, but after several hours or days of a psychic traumatization. The psychogenic factor as a rule is not reflected in the psychopathological structure of the disease. In the process of the disease the psychogenic influence leads to different neurotic conditions (depressive, asthenical, hysterical, phobic) which complicate the psychopathological picture of epilepsy. The epileptic fits as well as other expressions of the disorder also exert certain psychogenic influences.
