ABSTRACT: Background: The association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and epilepsy has been the focus of numerous studies published recently.this subject have been associated with epilepsy in children, but little article about adult epilepsy are existed. Methods: In the present study 28 patients with epilepsy and 50 non epileptic psychiatry patients (7males, 43females) matched for age, level of education and social-status were enrolled.they completed Persian Adult ADHD Rating Scales-self-report (CAARS-S- SV),that assesses ADHD symptoms in adult epilepsy. Results: In epileptic patients, mean age was (SD=8.99) and in non-epileptic group was (SD=7.05). Regarding social and demographic features, no significant differences between epilepsy patients and non-epileptic group were documented. But, statistically significant differences between the two groups were found on inattention (p = 0.03), hyperactivity (p = 0.04), ADHD index (p=0.02) scales Conclusion: In the present study, statistically significant differences between two group in inattention scale, hyperactivity scale and ADHD index scale were found. Keywords: ADHD, Adults, Epilepsy. INTRODUCTION Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms have been associated with epilepsy in children, but little study has been done in the adult epilepsy setting. The association between attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and epilepsy can cause significant impact on the social life of affected individuals and their families. Clinical studies suggest that 30-40% of people with epilepsy also have ADHD (1). ADHD does not always subside in adulthood: the prevalence has been found to be 1 5% in the general adult population (2). In a large survey of people with epilepsy who completed a self-report scale for ADHD; 18.4% of people with epilepsy had symptoms consistent with ADHD, much higher than would be expected in a normal population. Interestingly, no gender differences were found. Although ADHD is more common in boys and children, this was not found in adults in this study (3). Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms have been associated with epilepsy in children, but this is the first study in Iran to demonstrate an association with ADHD symptoms in adults with epilepsy. This study is important because ADHD symptoms can be treated and may be one way to improve the quality of life for some people with epilepsy. METHODS It was a causal-comparative study with conveniant sampling of patients with epilepsy that attended to the psychiatry clinic. After confirmation epilepsy diagnosis, we compared them with non- epileptic psychiatry patient that matched for age, level of education and social-status.

2 The statistical population of the research consists of 28 patients with epilepsy (12 males, 16 females) and 50 non epileptic psychiatry patients (21 males, 27 females) were subjected to evaluation for ADHD by a standardised Adult ADHD scale. A full clinical history was taken and they completed Persian Adult ADHD Rating Scales-self-report (CAARS-S- SV), that assesses ADHD symptoms in adult epilepsy.this test (CAARS-S-SV) consists of 30 items and evaluated three factor included inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity and ADHD index. Rate symptoms on a likert scale from 0 (not at all/never) to 3 (very much / very frequently).cronbach alfa were 0.74 for inattention scale, 0.68 for hyperactivity- impulsivity scle and 0.81 for ADHD index (4). All subjects gave written consent prior to their participation in the assessment study which had been approved bythe local ethics committee. Analysis was performed with statistical package spss 19 software. RESULTS Participants included 28(36%) epilepsy patients with mean and standard deviation age of (8.99) and 50 (64%) non epileptic psychiatry patients with mean and standard deviation age of (7.05). Regarding social and demographic features, no significant differences between two groups were documented (Table 1). Variables Age Table 1: Socio demographic characteristics of the sample epilepsy Group Normal Group Statistic(P value/sig) (n=28) (n=50) Mean( SD) (8.99) (7.05) T= 0.87 (0.39) Gender Count (%) Male 12 (%43) 21 (%44) Female 16 (%57) 27 (%56) Marital status Count (%) Never married 15 (%54) 30 (%60) Married 13 (%46) 20 (%40) Sig* < 0.05 X2 = (0.94) X2 = 0.17 ( 0.59) In order to compare two groups for ADHD symptoms, we used dependent T- test. The results show that two groups in ADHD symptoms have significant difference (p< 0.05) with each other. In epilepsy group, inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity and ADHD index were higher than non-epilepsy groups, on the other hand epilepsy patients have more inattention, hyperactivity and ADHD index in comparison with similar group that in all characteristics except epilepsy disorder are equal. The results of dependent T test indicated that epilepsy patients had more inattention mean(9.96) than non epilepsy group (7.45),and the difference was significant statistically.( sig =0.03, df=76, t=2.22 ) Also, they showed more hyperactivity mean (8.11) than non epilepsy group that were statically significant difference. (Sig =0.04, DF=76 t=2.03) ADHD index mean in epilepsy group (14), were higher than other group (1.82), this difference was also significant. (Sig=0.02, DF=76, t=2.27) The complete results have been shown in table 2. In Conner Adult ADHD Rating Scales, cut off point according to T-score were equal with the mean of fifty and standard deviation (10 ), in this regards individual with T-score >60 have ADHD symptoms. The results indicated that 25% epilepsy patients and 8% non epilepsy group showed inattention and hyperactivity that were statistically significant differences respevtively. (Sig =0.039, df=1, x²=4.28) (Sig =0.039, DF=1, x²=4.28) Also, significant difference were shown in ADHD index. ( Sig=0.015, df=1, x²=5.92) As it shown in Figure 1, 22%epilepsy patients and 4% non epilepsy group have ADHD index.

4 In the present study 25% of people with epilepsy had symptoms consistent with ADHD, much higher than would be expected in a normal population. Interestingly, no gender differences were found. Although ADHD is more common in boys and children, this was not found in adults in this study. The presence of one or more comorbid conditions may complicated epilepsy control. Comorbid conditions such as ADHD in patients with epilepsy should be evaluated and treated as soon as they are recognized. This will ensure maximum potential developmental outcome and ultimate function. This study emphasizes that comorbidities such as ADHD affect the people with epilepsy and contribute significantly to the cost of care. Different hypothesis try to explain the association between ADHD and epilepsy: the two conditions share the same neuropsychological basis, could have the same genetic predisposition; influence of antiepileptic drugs on attention and behavior could have a common physiopathology, as in frontal lobe epilepsy and also the presence of sub clinic epileptiform activity (5-9). It has also been discussed the possibility of the relationship epilepsy / ADHD be a "successive comorbidity", that is, the possibility that epilepsy lowers the threshold for the development of ADHD (10). People with epilepsy often require other psychotropic drugs, especially antidepressants and antipsychotics, which increase the concern of doctors to prescribe these medications without knowing the actual epileptogenic potential of each of these associations. (11-13). Little study has been done in the adult epilepsy setting. Our study is important because ADHD symptoms can be treated and may be one way to improve the quality of life for some people with epilepsy. The present study has some limitations. First the small sample size restrict the interpretation of our results, further studies should be conducted with a larger sample. Second, there is a lack of power to detect the effect of antiepileptic drugs on ADHD symptoms. REFERENCES [1] Koneski JA; Casella EB.
