Abstract
|
|
|
|
Psychiatric disorders are commonly observed in patients with epilepsy. Among them, the phenomenon known as forced normalization is scarce. Herein, we report the case of a 41-year-old patient who showed long-term first-onset psychiatric symptoms after seizure remission and normalization of electroencephalography. After changing the antiepileptic drug regimen and psychiatric treatment, the patient's symptoms regressed. However, the exact pathological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Changing the regimen of antiepileptic drugs and long-term psychiatric treatment may help control this phenomenon.
