Purpose Patients with epilepsy often suffer from concomitant psychiatric disorders. Treatment patterns and the extent of comorbidity are insufficiently investigated and appropriate methods are scarce. The purpose of the study was to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with epilepsy and to investigate prescription patterns of drugs prescribed for psychiatric disorders in epilepsy.
