title: Use of antiepileptic drugs in epileptology with respect to psychiatry.
abstract: Psychiatric problems in epileptology may result from complications of epilepsies, may parallel manifestations of a common underlying pathology or may be independent of the seizure disorder. The following aspects are described: (1) toxic psychiatric effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs); (2) idiosyncratic reactions with psychiatric symptomatology; (3) psychiatric complications at seizure control; (4) AED withdrawal syndromes, and (5) psychotropic actions of AEDs.
