Abstract

1. In the majority of cases showing an association of epileptic and schizophrenic symptoms, we may deal either with symptomatic epilepsy in schizophrenia, or, what is more common, with a symptomatic schizophrenia in epilepsy.

2. The number of cases showing a mixed symptomatology is very small compared with the vast number of schizophrenics and epileptics where a combination of the two disorders is not present.

3. The clinical, genetic and EEG evidence up to date does not permit the conclusion that epilepsy and schizophrenia are related disorders.

4. The group of schizophrenics showing abnormal EEG findings suggestive of epilepsy has to be split off from the schozophrenias and treated as a separate entity, similar to other organic psychoses with schizophrenic-like symptoms.
