Abstract
Antiepileptic drugs (AeDs) are receiving increasing attention for a possible association with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Several recent studies examining this association, however, have yielded inconsistent findings, particularly in terms of the risk of suicidal behavior conferred by specific AeDs. In patients with epilepsy, heightened suicide risk is also attributable to comorbid psychiatric conditions.Entities:
