Description
Shingo Yasumoto and colleagues interview, in a 2026 study, epilepsy patients at Kurume University Hospital about psychiatric symptoms that gather around seizures: before them, after them, and between them. Mood trouble in epilepsy is common, yet the timing patterns are poorly charted.
Five percent had symptoms only before seizures, 29 percent only after, and 10 percent both before and after in the counted interviews. Low mood and anxiety led the after-seizure list, while irritability and anxiety led before. Most spells lasted over a day but under a week. After-seizure symptoms tied strongly to a history of between-seizure mental illness, and having before-seizure symptoms raised the chance of after-seizure ones. The map helps clinics time their questions.
