Beyond seizures, it encompasses a wide spectrum of comorbidities, including psychiatric (depression, anxiety), medical (heart disease, migraines), and cognitive issues. This paper reviews the multi-faceted nature of epilepsy, emphasizing the significance of these comorbidities in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, and advocating for a holistic approach to patient care.
