[A barbiturate derivative-induced depressive syndrome in a 9-year-old boy with complex focal seizures and secondary generalization--a case report].

Abstract

The mental side-effects of long-term anticonvulsant medication are still not widely enough known. The paper describes the case of a depressive syndrome induced in a nine-year-old boy, with complex localised attacks and secondary generalisation, which completely receded on treatment with Convulsofin.
