EPILEPSY AND MENTAL DISORDERS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS – DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS
NENAD JAKUŠIĆ
Sažetak
The paper deals with differences between manifestations of epileptic and mental disorders in children and adolescents in cases when they exhibit similar symptoms. Since the treatment outcome depends almost entirely on the accurate diagnosis, the paper sets out guidelines and main points of differentiation between these phenomena. Detailed anamnesis along with close cooperation between the child psychiatrist and the neuro-pediatrician are considered the cornerstones of the diagnostic procedure.
