Psychiatric Comorbidities in Adults with Epilepsy: A Systematic Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition that is highly predisposed to a variety of mental health problems. This systematic literature review identified original research articles that reported the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities based on clinical assessments amongst patients with epilepsy (PWE). The included articles were published from 2000 to 2022 and focused on adults aged ≥18 years who had psychiatric diagnoses. The primary outcome was the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities amongst PWE. A modified Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of the studies. Thirty-three articles were reviewed in full-text screening. Out of these, 15 articles that were consistent with the inclusion criteria were included in our systematic review. This protocol was registered in PROSPERO with registration ID CRD42023461739. General Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder were the most common psychiatric comorbidities, with prevalence rates of 20.14% and 23.94%, respectively. Other reported comorbidities included post-traumatic stress disorder (8.3%), obsessive–compulsive disorder (2.9%), bipolar disorder (7.1%), psychosis (8.2%) and phobia (18.25%). These findings suggest that screening tools for depression and anxiety should be included as part of the training for epilepsy care.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
