| Abstract: | People with epilepsy have a higher risk of suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviors than the general population. Some of the studies found increased suicide rates in men with unprovoked seizures and suggested that the risk is increased in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. Some studies showed that people with epilepsy with temporal lobe resection have a higher mortality rate due to suicide than nonsurgical cases. People who continued to have seizure had a SMR of 7.4 in contrast to those who were seizure-free post-surgery (SMR: 1.7). The risk of suicide is about three times higher among patient with epilepsy than in general population. The Aim & objective of the study was to identify the prevalence suicidality in epileptic patient. A cross-sectional descriptive observational prospective study that used inclusion and exclusion criteria was conducted. 150 patients presented with epilepsy were taken in the study at SMS Hospital, Jaipur from May 2021 to April 2022. In the current study, Majority of subject were not had suicidal ideas (68%) and 32% subjects had suicidal ideas, Suicidal attempt tendency were absent in majority of subjects (88%), while 12% subjects had it. The severity of suicidal tendency as per MINI score was absent in majority of cases (70%) followed by low and moderate tendency in 12% subjects and least were had high tendency. From the present study we concluded that with increasing age of onset suicidality decreases and with increasing duration of illness suicidality decreases in epilepsy patients. |
