Epilepsy, characterized by a prolonged predisposition to generate epileptic seizures, is one of the most common chronic neurologic disorders [1]. Although many differences have been found among these three categories of seizures, including generalized onset seizures, focal onset epilepsy and unknown onset epilepsy, almost 70% of patients with epilepsy (PWE) respond positively to treatment, including pharmacotherapy and nonpharmacy therapy, and become seizure free [2]. However, in addition to seizure attacks, there are many other problems faced by PWE, including social impairments and psychiatric comorbidities, even after they are seizure free [3,4].
