Abstract
Our results showed that it is recommendable to conceptualize an epileptic seizure as being potentially traumatic in nature when assessing PTSD in patients with epilepsy, although we could not identify specific characteristics that could differentiate between traumatic and nontraumatic seizures. However, while using interview-based psychiatric assessment, we found a very low rate of a postepileptic seizure PTSD. It is worth conducting a comprehensive psychiatric diagnostic interview to differentiate PTSD-like symptoms from other comorbidities, such as epilepsy-related adjustment disorder.
