Case Study● 34 year-old left handed man admitted following a first
secondarily GTC● Evaluated in ER; discharged on no meds. CT scan: read as
unremarkable● For the previous 7 years, the patient had complained of
recurrent episodes of a “panic feeling” often associated with nausea lasting up to 1 minute
● After panic episodes, patient usually feels “emotionally exhausted” and had to take a nap
GTC = Generalized tonic seizureER = Emergency room

Case Study
● On days when he had a panic episode, concentration was poor.
● Panic episodes occurred in awake (75%) and sleep (25%) states.
● Patient’s primary care physician interpreted the panic symptoms as anxiety disorder and placed him on alprazolam without relief of symptoms.
● Also treated with SSRIs.

Old Assumption…
● In patients with epilepsy, depressive and anxiety disorders,●Are a complication of the seizure disorder

Bidirectional Relation Between Epilepsy and Psychiatric Disorders● Patients with epilepsy have a 5- to 20-fold higher risk of
developing depression
● Patients with depression have a 2- to 5-fold higher risk of developing epilepsy

Impact of Mood Disorders and Antidepressant Drugs on the Occurrence of Spontaneous Seizures● Assessment of seizure incidence between patients
randomized to SSRIs, SNRIs, and placebo in regulatory studies
● Antidepressant treatments associated with lower seizure incidence relative to placebo for all SSRIs and SNRIs
● Standardized seizure ratio: 0.48, 95% CI 0.36-0.61● The incidence of seizures among patients randomized to
placebo was 19-fold higher than that of the general population.

Glutamate in Depressive Disorders
● High glutamate plasma and CSF concentrations● Dysfunction of glutamate transporter proteins (identified in
animal models of depression)● Increased Cortical Glutamate identified in brain MRS● Antidepressant effects of NMDA antagonists

GABA Disturbances
● Decreased CSF concentrations● Decreased cortical concentrations in:
●Post-mortem studies of patients with mood disorders●Brain MRS studies- Normalization of GABA concentrations has been demonstrated with
antidepressant therapy and electroshock therapy● Decreased GABA-A activity identified in studies with TMS:
●Reduced silent period●Reduced intra-cortical inhibition

epilepsy and major depression.

Structural and Functional Abnormalities in the Frontal Lobe of Patients With Primary Depression● Structural changes in
●Orbito-frontal and prefrontal cortex●Cingulate gyrus ●White matter
● Smaller volume of orbito-frontal cortex in young adults and geriatric patients with Major Depressive Disorders
● The magnitude of prefrontal volume changes related to severity of the depression

Neuropathologic Findings in Frontal Lobe Structures in Primary Depression● Decrease in
●Cortical thickness ●Neuronal sizes ●Neuronal densities in layers II, III, and IV of the rostral
orbito-frontal region in the brains of depressed patients1 ● In the caudal orbito-frontal cortex
●Significant reductions in glial densities in cortical layers V and VI
●Associated with decreases in neuronal sizes● In the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
●A decrease in neuronal and glial density and size in all cortical layers

Neuroimaging Changes in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy are Magnified in the Presence of Depression● To investigate differences in gray matter volume between
patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with and without depression using voxel-based morphometry.
● 96 neurologically healthy adult subjects and 48 people with MTLE participated in this study.
● 24 patients had MTLE with and 24 without major depression.● The number of areas of gray matter volume loss was higher
in patients with MTLE with depression than in those with MTLE without depression.

Principle #1: Make Sure that the Depressive and Anxiety Episodes are Not the Expression of an Iatrogenic Effect…
● Introduction of AED with negative psychotropic properties in vulnerable patients.
● Increase dose of AED with negative psychotropic properties.● Withdrawal of AED with positive psychotropic properties in
vulnerable patients.● Pharmacokinetic interaction between enzyme-inducing AED
and concomitant psychotropic drug.

● Can use screening instrument of symptoms of depression and anxiety
2. Adjust dose of antidepressant drug in the presence of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs

Points to Take Home…In patients with epilepsy…●Mood and anxiety disorders are relatively frequent psychiatric comorbidities.●They yield serious and negative impacts on the management of the seizure disorder and life of these patients at several levels.
●Worse seizure control●Worse tolerance of AEDs●Increased suicidal risk●Worse quality of life
●Depression and anxiety can be safely treated with SSRIs and /or SNRIs.
