Abstract

There are currently about 50 million people in the world diagnosed with epilepsy (WHO, 2001). Clinical epilepsy is represented by two symptom complexes: various types of epileptic seizures and mental disorders (psychotic and non-psychotic levels). Despite the frequency of occurrence of mental disorders in epilepsy, their most important role in the formation of the clinical picture, course and prognosis of the disease, they have not been standardized in any modification of epilepsy classifications.
