Although mental health difficulties are common in people with epilepsy, their assessment and treatment are rarely incorporated into routine medical care, with detrimental effects on quality of life. Several barriers to access traditional face to face interventions have been identified, including travel restriction and shortage of appropriately trained mental health clinicians. Digital mental health interventions offer the potential to improve access to mental health treatment. The main aim of the present study is to systematically review the empirical literature to identify what digital mental health interventions for adults, children and young people with epilepsy are currently available, as well as exploring if these interventions are effective in improving mental health and wellbeing.
