Abstract
1. We may have epilepsy super-imposed upon any personality but that an individual is a potential epileptic because of personality has not been established. 2. The average person developing epilepsy has, at beginning of seizures, the average personality traits existing in people in general if we eliminate the primary mental defects. 3. The subsequent mental reaction in these cases is influenced a great deal by the deprivation and home protection to which they are submitted. 4. Sexual and murderous assaults are not as frequent as some writers assert. 5. The deterioration in the ones who do deteriorate, consists of irritability, memory disturbances, failure of ordinary stimuli to elicit proper response, lack of interest in their personal appearance and surroundings, final loss of irritability with gradual decline to the vegetative level of existence. 6. Frequency, type and duration of convulsions have no definite bearing upon rapidity or certainty of deterioration.
