Abstract

The literature on the effects of anticonvulsant drugs on behaviour is reviewed, with particular attention to the new agents. Positive psychotropic effects, and negative influences on behaviour are noted. The latter include depression and psychoses. The drugs most involved seem to be those with GABAergic properties, and the role of forced normalisation is discussed.
