Abstract: | Epilepsy is a matter of interest to several medical specialities: neurology, neurosurgery, pathology, psychiatry, and other fields of knowledge such as psychology and sociology. Although a high prevalence of psychopathological disorders is often reported among epileptic patients who are candidates for neurosurgery, this cannot explain the problems that may be experienced by patients after surgery. Numerous related aspects such as neurological, psychological and sociological factors cause disturbances. This study suggests that systematic psychological and social management might help in the transition from chronic disability to wellness by means of improved adjustment potential. |
