Editorial Review: This volume is a pragmatic, comprehensive guide to evaluation and management of psychiatric problems in patients with epilepsy. The authors critically analyze recent findings on the relationship between seizures and psychiatric disorders and offer practical recommendations for diagnosis and treatment. Numerous case studies are included. This thoroughly updated edition includes new material on animal models of psychopathology in epilepsy, use of psychotropic drugs in epilepsy, use of antiepileptic drugs in psychiatry, neuroanatomic and neurobiologic bases of psychiatric disorders, neuropsychological evaluation in children with epilepsy, neuropsychological testing in epilepsy surgery candidates, and value and limitations of the forced normalization concept.

For Patients with Clearly Defined Epilepsy, 2008-01-03
What I wanted to know when I bought this book was how to exclude epilepsy as a cause of psychiatric symptoms. This book did not really do that at all. As far as I can tell, the book is about treating people with an obvious, primary diagnosis of epilepsy who develop psychiatric symptoms. Perhaps if that was your reason for buying the book you would give it 5 stars. A book called "Psychiatric Issues in Epilepsy" could reasonalby be expected to cover my question: "So, could this possibly be TLE?" but this book was no help.
