How we can overcome neuropsychological adverse effects of anti-epileptic drugs.
This research paper explores how "Antiepileptic
pharmacotherapy can very well have positive effects on cognition and behaviour
via control of seizures and interictal epileptic discharges, and/or via
improvements of mood and psychiatric comorbidity. However, more frequent, and
less appreciated are adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), causing new
cognitive or behavioural problems or aggravating pre-existent
neuropsychological impairments."
