Abstract

Although mood disorders have a major impact on quality of life in patients with epilepsy, the nature of some aspects, such as mania, has received little attention. With the introduction of several new antiepileptic drugs into clinical practice, attention to psychiatric treatment-emergent adverse effects has been renewed. This article explores the relationship between antiepileptic drugs and mania in patients with epilepsy, with special emphasis on the clinical pathophysiology of this phenomenon.
