- Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between aggressive behavior and Dravet syndrome, a rare form of early-onset genetic epileptic syndrome. It highlights the challenges in defining and measuring aggression and emphasizes the need for specific tools to assess aggressive behavior in individuals with Dravet syndrome. The article also explores the potential role of antiepileptic drugs in exacerbating behavioral problems, including aggression. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of improving the identification and treatment of behavioral and psychiatric comorbidities in individuals with Dravet syndrome. The article highlights the need for comprehensive behavioral assessment tools for individuals with Dravet syndrome and the lack of attention to adverse effects on behavior caused by antiepileptic drugs. It also emphasizes the importance of developing specific assessment tools for Dravet syndrome and other developmental and epileptic encephalopathies to improve care for individuals with these conditions. The document provides a list of references for various research articles related to epilepsy and its impact on individuals and their caregivers. These articles cover topics such as behavioral and emotional problems in children with epilepsy, the impact of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies on caregivers, comorbidities associated with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and the psychosocial impact of caring for children with Dravet syndrome. They provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by individuals with epilepsy and their families, as well as potential treatment options and strategies for improving quality of life.
