Sažetak
Introduction and goal of this paper is to demonstrate prevalence, data, method of treatment and risk factors for depression apearance of epilepsy patients. Ambulatory patients which were checked up regularly during the period of 2 months have filled up two question forms: BDI-II which purpouse is to evaluate existance, severity of depression symptoms and questionary with demographic data, clinical features of epilepsy and medical treatment. We examined 252 patients (male patients 48.8%, middle age 43 +/- 16 years, presence of epilepsia 13.3 +/- 11 years). Scores of BDI-II for our examinees are: minimum depression 59%, mild 15%, moderately 14% and severe depression 12%. The procentage of persons which took antidepressives according to categories of depression was: minimum depression 5.4%, mild 26.3%, moderately 20% and severe depression 54.8%. In statistic we used hi-quadrat test. Group with moderate and hard depression are consolidated (N=66) and compared with rest of examinees (N=186). That consolidated group took antidepressives more often (p<0.01), they were poor educated (p<0.01), had epileptic seizures more often (p<0.01), and were older than 40 years (p<0.01). There was not found any larger statistical differences regarding to the lenght of epilepsia, number of antiepileptics used, appearance of generalized convulsive seizures and social categories: marital status, parenthood, employment, ownership of drivers licence. Relatively high percentage of depression at epilepsy patients shows a need for multidisciplinar diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some of risk factors for depressive disorder are poor epilepsy controle, elderly age and poor education.
