title: Interictal behavior disorders in epilepsy.
abstract: Psychiatric symptomatology is present in many epileptics and some is directly or indirectly related to the seizure activity. Interictal and chronic psychiatric problems are particularly troublesome; awareness of the symptom clusters may lead to better diagnosis and treatment of these problems.
