Official title
Anxiety and Depression in Epilepsy: A Pilot Epileptologist-Driven Treatment Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
As a potential solution to address high rates of depression and anxiety seen in epilepsy patients and poor mental health care access, this randomized trial aims to study treatment for anxiety and depression in epilepsy taking place directly within the epilepsy clinic vs. psychiatry referral (typical care). Patients that meet eligibility criteria, including significant symptoms of depression and/or anxiety, will be randomized to the either the intervention group or the control group. Patients that do not meet eligibility requirement or decline the study intervention will have the option of participating in the survey arm of the study. The intervention will consist of an initial prescription for an FDA-approved medication to treat depression/anxiety and telephone-based chronic care management plan for repeated symptom measurement and side effect surveillance. The control group will receive usual care, which is a referral order to psychiatry placed by their treating neurologist. Participants in the survey arm of the study will complete a one time survey.
