Many patients with epilepsy are willing to have epilepsy surgery if their physician presented epilepsy surgery to them as an established safe and effective treatment option. The important values and p...
Many studies focus on knowledge and attitudes of unaffected people towards epilepsy and people with epilepsy (PWE). The perspective of PWE themselves is much less explored....
We invited PWE in Germany to answer a questionnaire on their knowledge and attitudes towards epilepsy and PWE....
The questionnaire was completed by 230 PWE (median age: 40 years; min./max.: 19/83; 66 % female). Of PWE, 22 % thought that PWE are more helpful, and 10 % thought that PWE are friendlier than other pe...

A consecutive sample of 211 people (118 female, 93 male, mean age 38.09 years) completed the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) to determine the presence of anhedonia and the Hospital Anxiety and ...
Over one in three of the sample (35%) reported significant anhedonia on the SHAPS. While these patients were more likely to have a diagnosis of depression (p < 0.01), 30% of people without a diagnosis...
While anhedonia is well recognized as a feature of depression, our data suggests that it can be present in up to a third of people with epilepsy who do not have a diagnosis of depression. Cognitive di...
