Abstract
Epilepsy is the most common neurological diagnosis reported in sub-Saharan Africa, and psychological distress, particularly depression, is highly comorbid. Yet most patients fail to receive appropriate multidisciplinary care. This study addressed attitudes towards epilepsy and comorbid mental illness, as well as management practices among healthcare providers in sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, we explored the perceived local barriers to adequate psychiatric care.
