Abstract
Psychiatric comorbidities are common in epilepsy. Common conditions such as depression and anxiety, and neurodevelopmental conditions ADHD and autism are also more prevalent in people with epilepsy. This article discusses a girl with a background of controlled epilepsy who was referred to the paediatric psychiatry clinic. It demonstrates a clear need for joint working between neurologists and psychiatric services to optimise the quality of life of such individuals.
