Neuropsychiatric and electroencephalographic aspects in the diagnosis of complex partial seizures.
The authors review from a psychiatric perspective some of the electroencephalographic techniques that may assist the clinician in diagnosing complex partial seizures (temporal lobe epilepsy). Routine scalp electroencephalograms may not detect temporal lobe EEG abnormalities, leading to the false impression of pseudo or hysterical seizures. Knowledge of the advantages of a sleep recording, specialized EEG electrodes (nasopharyngeal, sphenoidal), and natural or pharmacological activation techniques will increase one's diagnostic acumen. The authors discuss the appropriate use of these methods and their relevance to psychiatry.

Complex partial and pseudoseizure disorders.
The differentiation of ictal and nonictal seizure disorders is difficult, particularly in patients suffering from partial seizures with complex symptomatology. The authors state that observation of a patient's habitual seizure during EEG recording is the ideal diagnostic tool and describe their method of seizure activation with sphenoidal electrodes and simultaneous audiovisual monitoring. They emphasize the necessity for early, aggressive treatment of both ictal and nonictal seizure disorders, point out risks to the patient if the incorrect diagnosis is made, and urge further cooperation between psychiatrists and neurologists in this borderland area.

Antipsychotic drugs and seizures.
The authors examine the clinical problem of which antipsychotic drug to use when antipsychotics are indicated in patients with a seizuire disorder or who are susceptible to seizures. While definitive answers to this problem are still unknown, guidelines are offered for antipsychotic drug use in this situation, based on the author's understanding of psychotropics and epilepsy.
