abstract="Aggressive behavior is studied in 60 in-, and outpatients with epileptic psychoses. Such psychoses were split in 2 groups: (a) Clear consciousness, and (b) Clouded consciousness. In turn, clear-consciousness epileptic psychoses were also split in 2 groups, namely episodic, and chronic psychoses. The results show there is a greater aggressivity within the psychotic symptoms period, if compared to the period free of symptoms. If drawn during the psychotic symptoms period, a comparison between these psychoses shows that clouded consciousness epileptic psychoses group features a greater amount of aggressive behavior. Chronic epileptic psychoses rank second. Finally, a lower aggression index is to be found among episodic epileptic psychoses group. No direct relationship between aggressive behavior, and epileptic seizures--such as focal, generalized, or mixed epileptic fits--could be found out.<p /><p>Language: es</p>",
