Epilepsy & Behavior(2024)
摘要
Background
Psychotic disorders are prevalent among people with epilepsy compared to the general population. However, there is limited information regarding psychosis among people with epilepsy in Uganda. This study therefore determined the prevalence and associated factors of psychosis among adults with epilepsy attending Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital in Uganda.
Methods
This was a cross-sectional study involving adults with epilepsy. The diagnosis of psychosis was assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview, module for Psychotic disorders. Logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with psychosis.
Results
Out of 250 participants, 6.8% had psychosis and 13.6% had depression. Psychosis was significantly associated with older age, greater perceived stigma and substance use.
Conclusion
Psychosis affects nearly 7% of adults with epilepsy in Uganda especially among those who are older, with perceived stigma and substance use. Routine screening and early intervention to management of psychosis in PWE is highly recommended.
