Abstract
Antiepileptic drugs are important psychotropic agents that are commonly used to treat psychiatric disorders. The behavioral effects of antiepileptic drugs may differ between epilepsy and psychiatric patient populations. Randomized, double-blind, controlled data on the psychotropic efficacy of antiepileptic drugs are limited mainly to bipolar disorder.Keywords
