Abstract

Epilepsy is a complex public health problem associated with fear, stigma and misconceptions that often lead to human rights violations and discrimination. Psychosocial problems such as depression, anxiety, social stigma, lack of social support and unemployment negatively impact the quality of life of people with epilepsy. This review analyzed the results of meta-analyses and systematic reviews that assessed the quality of life of population with epilepsy. Based on this review, we conclude that quality of life in epilepsy is determined by multiple combined factors, including country specific factors.A better understanding of the quality of life of people with epilepsy living in different populations is important because quality of life is influenced by various cultural, ethnic, and economic factors.
