Epilepsy and Temperament
Main Article Content
Abstract
Living with epilepsy generally involves more than adjustment to the intermittent episodes, long term drug therapy and medical supervisions. Those suffering from epilepsy also have to learn to cope with the immense hurt, due to social apathy, neglect, and the aversion stemming from
revulsion. Many of those who have written of the psychosocial problems associated with epilepsy have confidently asserted that these are almost always caused by public discrimination arising out of the perception of epilepsy as stigmatising. The temperament variables of approach withdrawal,
adaptability, threshold of responsiveness, mood and persistence, did not show much correlation to the psychopathology noted in the study population.
