الملخص EN
The unpredictable nature & elongated course of epilepsy affect all dimensions (physical, psychological, and social) of an individual’s life.
People with the diagnosis of epilepsy are a high-risk group for different psychiatric problems that is anxiety, depression as well as social problems (marriage, education, and daily activities).
The findings of present research revealed high rate (70%) of psychological distress among fifty adult individuals with epilepsy.
It was also found that people with uncontrolled epilepsy experience high level of psychological distress (100%) as compared to those with controlled (42%).
Demographic and clinical factors associated with distress include lack of occupation, the presence of an underlying disabling condition (with treatment), and the severity of epilepsy.
The finding generated here showed that 13 out of 19 females with epilepsy reported psychological distress.
It was also found that none of these women was employed (a cultural specific phenomenon) with a slightly high number of unmarried females (74%).
So by understanding the relationship between clinical and psychosocial variables, a good management plan can be devised with a focus on social and gender differences.
The present research can also help to increase the awareness and to lower the stigmatization related to epilepsy.
