摘要：Epilepsy is a chronic disorder affecting 50 million peopleworldwide [1–3]. It is characterized by recurrent seizuresdue to abnormal excessive and synchronous neuronalactivity in the brain [4]. The International League AgainstEpilepsy [ILAE] defines epilepsy as “a disease characterizedby an enduring predisposition to generate epilepticseizures and by the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological,and social consequences of this condition”. Thus,the impact of epilepsy is not only limited to the actualseizures but also inclusive of the effects of antiepilepticdrugs (AEDs) and other treatments and the psychosocial,psychiatric, cognitive and medical comorbidities associatedwith the seizure disorder [4].
