title: Anxiety and depression levels in clients with epilepsy in selected hospital of Pune City.
abstract: In clients with epilepsy, the psychosocial impact of epilepsy is overwhelming. Epilepsy is chronic disease and needs long-term management. The study was conducted with the purpose to assess the level of anxiety and depression in the client with epilepsy. Results showed that there was a presence of anxiety in 40 percent cases and depression in 15 percent cases with epilepsy. The findings of this study reveal that there is no significant correlation present between the anxiety and depression level with selected sociodemographic variables. It also shows that type of family, monthly income and effect on work are potential risk factors for developing anxiety and depression in clients with epilepsy. Education and support can help clients to deal with the emotional impact of epilepsy.
