Seizure Control and Anxiety: Which Factor Plays a Major Role in Social Adjustment in Patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy?

Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) is the most common generalized genetically determined epilepsy syndrome in adults and accounts for 5–10% of all epilepsy cases (1). The syndrome is characterized by the presence of myoclonic seizures (100%), generalized-tonic-clonic seizures (GTC) (80 – 90%), and typical absence seizures (30%). The treatment consists of a balance between the avoidance of precipitating factors and antiseizure medication (ASM) (2,3).
