Abstract
The aim of this article is analytical literature review on psychological factors contributing to the epileptic process. It was shown that emotional stress may trigger the onset of epilepsy and have a negative impact on the patients’ condition. Three types of seizure psychological triggers were identified: 1) stress (stress-induced seizures); 2) behavioral patterns (auto-induction, secondary gain); 3) conditioned-reflex mechanism (seizures are associated with specific simple and complex stimuli). Approaches to psychological intervention in a complex treatment of epilepsy are described.
