A term for psychotic manifestations in patients with epilepsy. Chronic epileptic psychosis is hallucinatory-paranoid in nature, manifests itself mainly in the form of delusions, usually of mystical and religious content. Acute epileptic psychosis usually appears regardless of seizures in the form of delirious attacks or schizophrenic episodes lasting days and weeks. As a rule, epileptic psychoses develop in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
