According to a conceptual definition in 2021, epilepsy is a persistent predisposition to cause seizures of epileptic seizures and is characterized by a brain disorder characterized by the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological and social consequences of this condition. The concept is based on the definition proposed by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) working group, which implies the need to take into account the complex approach (mentioned in the psychological definition) and the presence of joint mental states in the treatment of epilepsy in complex mental states. Given the importance of a comprehensive interdisciplinary assessment of the state of epilepsy, a for Paroxysmal conditions and comorbid psychopathological signs. Kanner proposed adding psychiatric disorders to the convulsive classification. Attention to this classification was paid to such criteria as the presence or absence of mental pathology from Anamnesis, the temporary relationship between the appearance of the disease (before, after or during paroxysms), the type of mental illness that accompanies it. Neurologists and epileptologists know the importance of comorbidity of mental signs in epilepsy, so they focus on the negative consequences of this comorbidity. This comorbidity accelerates and aggravates blunt attacks. In recent years, attention has been paid to depressive disorders found in patients with epilepsy. Many anxiogenic factors in the daily life of patients with epilepsy (non-predictability of seizures, physical shocks, social stigma, discrimination, economic, family, professional difficulties) interact with each other, which, as a result, worsen the quality of life of patients and lead to an increase in panic.
