Abstract:
Research evidence from around the world indicates high levels of co-morbid
mental conditions among people with epilepsy (PWE) compared to the general population.
Nevertheless, there is very limited evidence regarding the detection or impact of co-morbid
mental health conditions in PWE from low-income country settings.
Therefore, the main aim of this PhD thesis was to investigate the detection, impact and lived
experience of co-morbid mental health conditions in PWE in a rural Ethiopian setting.
