Core Tip

Core Tip: Epilepsy is a common chronic disease of the nervous system. Current treatment of epilepsy is mainly based on symptomatic treatment. Patients with poorly controlled seizures are at a higher risk of depression than those with well-controlled seizures. This study mainly explores the influence of intensive psychological intervention on the treatment compliance, psychological status, and quality of life of patients with epilepsy.
