As the treatment rate for depression in epilepsy is unclear and the discordant voice of choosing antidepressants for most doctors, this prospective observational cohort study was designed to better understand the current situation of drug treatments in patients with the comorbidity of epilepsy and depression in East China. The secondary outcome was to investigate whether baseline depressive symptoms had an influence on seizure-control in patients with epilepsy at follow-up.
The aim of this study is to register the drug treatment of depression in patients with epilepsy in East China.
