Epilepsy is a serious chronic neurological disorder associated with an increased risk of psychiatric comorbidity and premature mortality. Accumulating evidence suggests that somatic comorbidity is markedly increased in people with epilepsy compared to the general population. [1–6] These comorbidities have a substantial detrimental effect on the quality of life in people with epilepsy [7–11]. The precise determinants for the comorbidities are yet unknown, but may include the use of medications for epilepsy or other indications [12,13].
