Materials and Methods:A total of 150 epileptic patients and 70 controls were ran-domly enrolled to study.Beck depression inventory (BDI), Liebowitz social phobia scale (LSPS) and Panic agoraphobia scale (PAS) were applied to groups.Results: The mean age of the patients was 34±10 years, the number of male-female was 56/94, whereas the control group's mean age was 33±10 years, number of male-female was 29/41.The duration of disease was more than 10 years in 44.7% of pa-tients and 60.67% was treated with monotherapy.In the patient group, BDI was found to be 15.18 ± 12.25 and 10.87 ± 9.06 in the control group (p = 0.0038).There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of LSPS.When the groups were evaluated according to PAS, agoraphobia findings were found in 29.33% of the patients and 24% of the control group (p = 0.002).The rate of agoraphobia was found to be 84% in females in the patient group.Conclusion: Depression, social phobia, and agoraphobia complicate the management of epilepsy as psychiatric comorbidities.
