Abstract:
We investigated psychiatric and cognitive profiles of patients with epilepsy compared to patients with PNES and patients with epilepsy associated to PNES. We evaluated 37 consecutive inpatients (hospitalized for video-
EEG monitoring): 20 epileptic patients (group I), 11 patients with PNES (group II) and 6 patients with epilepsy associated to PNES (group III). All patients were screened for Axis I (psychiatric disorders) and Axis II (personality disorders) with two clinical semi-structured interviews. In group I (n = 20): 10 patients (50%) presented a psychiatric comorbidity (Axis I, Axis II or Axis I + Axis II). All patients with PNES (group II + III) presented a psychiatric diagnosis (100%) compared to 50% of patients with epilepsy. We did not observe any mood disorders in patients with PNES, on the contrary we noted compared to 25% of mood disorders in patients with epilepsy (p < 0.05). From a psychiatric standpoint PNES are heterogeneous disorders. Patients with PNES had a higher incidence of psychiatric disorder compared to patients without PNES.
