Introduction. People with epilepsy (PWE) have a higher risk of developing depression and anxiety than people without epilepsy. However, understanding and management of that issue remain under-recognized. Aim. To emphesize: a) the relationship between depression, anxiety, and epilepsy, and b) to suggest practical strategies for their identification by clinicians. Methods. The current literatures was reviewed investigating the impact of depression and anxiety in PWE and those examining the

INTRODUCTION
Patients with epilepsy (PWEs) have worse quality of life than individuals from the general population not only because of occurrence of epileptic seizures, but also due to comorbid psychiatric disorders, especially depression (Jacoby et al., 2009; Kanner et al., 2012a; Yue et al., 2011). These symptoms are severe and more frequent in population of patients with epilepsy than in the general population (Jalava and Sillanpää, 1996; Kwon and Park, 2014; Tellez-Zenteno et al., 2007

INTRODUCTION
Currently, the pathological role of stress in the genesis of neuropsychiatric disorders including depression is being actively studied. An important role has been assigned to emotional stress caused by the cognitive processing of negative stimuli (Yang et al., (2015).
Experimental models of depression can be divided into several groups depending on methodology and type of influencing factor.
The first group includes methods based on the effects of physical stress, which include the

Child sleep disturbance is important to consider because it may have aversive consequences for the child including developmental delay, behavioural problems and mood disorders (6), poor academic performance (7), and high levels of

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a popular and effective treatment for drug resistant depression. However, there is considerable variability in clinical outcomes, in previous studies and between patients. Because of high requirements for the use of fMRI based neuronavigation, many practitioners of rTMS still choose to use a standard 5 cm rule for rTMS coil placement which leads to large variations in which brain regions are being stimulated. We decided to test the

Depression is often considered as a common mental disorder of the brain encompassing feelings of sadness, guilt, loss of appetite, tiredness, lack of concentration, lack of self-esteem, lack of interest or pleasure, and disturbed sleep. Depression is common worldwide, with an estimated 300 million people affected. Depression adds to the global burden of disease (according to the World Health Organization).

INTRODUCTION
Depression is a psychiatric illness with diverse clinical manifestations. It’s presentation can include loss of sleep, appetite and sense of pleasure and loneliness (Kapfhammer, 2006). Moreover, in many neurological and psychiatric disorders, depression is found to be co morbid (Sherbourne et al., 1996; Moussavi et al., 2007; Raskind, 2008). In some cases, it manifests itself in periods of relapse (Morgan, 2003; Ma and Teasdale, 2004). Considering the burden of depression

Introduction
Adolescents who suffer from depression report experiencing more conflict and less support in the relationship with their parents (1). The transition into adolescence is normatively accompanied by increases in parent-child conflict (2), but not all parent-adolescent dyads manage these conflicts equally well (3). Parent-adolescent conflict has been linked to onset of adolescent depressive symptoms in multiple studies (4-6). Parent-adolescent conflict has further been found to predict

Knowledge about reliable risk factors for depression is of critical importance, especially in adolescence, given (a) the high prevalence of both clinical and subsyndromal levels of depression in that period (1, 2) combined with (b) the well-documented detrimental and far-reaching consequences of adolescent depression later in life (3, 4) that even exist for subclinical levels of depression (5). The identification of risk factors, therefore, is crucial for targeted prevention. An

Depression is the most common form of mental disability in the world. Depressive episodes may be precipitated by severe acute stressful events or by mild chronic stressors. Studies on the mechanisms of depression require both appropriate experimental models (most of them based on the exposure of animals to chronic stressors), and appropriate tests for assessment of depressive states. In this study male Wistar rats were exposed to two different chronic stress paradigms: an eight‑week chronic

The bilateral olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) is a validated model of depression. The removal of bulbi olfactorii produces a syndrome of behavioral, neurochemical, neuroendocrine, immune, etc. alterations, that resembles human depressive disorder (Kelly et al., 1997; Song and Leonard, 2005).

The latter function is of paramount importance since phenobarbital may induce respiratory depression. Therefore, it should be administered only if ventilator support is available. One of the requirements at this stage is informing a neurointensivist or experienced anaesthetist about the patient and his or her condition (Jones et al

A depressive disorder is a disease characterized by a heterogenous background. The important processes observed and diagnosed in depressed patients indicate that the etiology of depression may include disturbances in thyroid hormone (TH) levels and the occurrence of immune-inflammatory activation. Type 1 (DIO1) and type 3 (DIO3) iodothyronine deiodinases are the enzymes which determine the peripheral and tissue levels of TH, but also interfere with immunological cells and inflammatory processes

Depression is one of the most common and most disabling mental disorders characterised by a major burden on both the patients and society as a whole. The most common symptoms of depression include low mood, low self-esteem, sleeping disorders and anxieties, which together frequently lead to suicides. It should be noted that the incidence of both (depression and anxiety disorders) have been on the rise, which may be related to longer lifespans, unemployment, migrations

Mood disorders are relatively common serious human diseases for which there is often no ideal pharmacotherapy. Basic characteristic of these diseases is affective disorder shifting the mood of the patient to depression (together with anxiety or not) or towards to euphoria. Available drugs are usually divided into two groups – mood stabilizers, which are used primarily to treat bipolar disorder,and antidepressants for the treatment of unipolar depression.

Synaptic plasticity simply put, is the activity-dependent modification of the strength or efficacy of synaptic transmission in the network of synapses in the brain. The role of synaptic plasticity in disease is an active area of research. Changes in plasticity translate to the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse and subsequently, the way humans see the world. It is known that neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD

Indeed, the present results demonstrate (1) a depression of c-fos expression in the PCs during convulsions, and (2) that PCs are not significantly activated, despite a significant rise in c-fos protein expression in the granule cells and interneurons of the molecular layer.
