| description | This study examines the behavioral particularities of individuals with epilepsy, focusing on aggression, hostility, and shyness in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy compared to those with well-controlled epilepsy. The research sample comprised 102 participants (62 with drug-resistant epilepsy and 40 with well-controlled epilepsy). The results revealed statistically significant differences in the manifestation of aggression, hostility, and shyness between subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy and those with drug-controlled epilepsy. Behaviors such as indirect aggression, nervousness, guilt, distrust, and blame were more common in individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy. High aggression was found only in women
with drug-resistant epilepsy, while high hostility was mainly observed in the drug-resistant group. Certain factors, including secondary education, unemployment, living in rural areas, and frequent seizures, were associated with higher aggression and hostility in drug-resistant epilepsy subjects. High shyness was more common in those with drug-resistant epilepsy,
especially among those with technical education, unemployment, and long disease duration. |
