Abstract
A 56-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of insomnia and psychomotor retardation. This is her second admission. She was diagnosed as having depression and began to receive antidepressants. Her conditions got better after the treatment but the depressive state occurred again after she stopped taking those drugs. As EEG showed some spike discharges at the nondominant temporal lobe area, she was given anticonvulsants this time. Her depressive state improved rapidly by taking anticonvulsants instead of the antidepressants. The spike discharges at the nondominant temporal lobe area disappeared when the clinical symptoms improved.
