The complex relationship between seizures and behavior: an illustrative case report.
Epilepsy and behavior have a complex, often intriguing relationship. We report here the interesting case of Mrs. A, who presented with depression and developed seizures and an ictal psychosis precipitated by use of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. She subsequently presented with forced normalization characterized by affective somatoform and hysterical manifestations.
