Abstract
Background Symptoms of depression often emerge in childrenwith epilepsy, but parents or caregivers are not always able to
recognize them.
Objective To assess the prevalence and clinical features of de-
pressive syndrome among pediatric epilepsy patients in Cipto
Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta.
Methods This was a cross-sectional study on children aged 8-
18 years. Child Depression Inventory (CDI) was used as the
instrument for assessing depressive symptoms.
Results Depressive syndrome was found in 34 out of 89 subjects.
The three most frequent depression symptoms were self-
deprecation (via peer comparison), indecisiveness, and pessimism.
Frequency of seizures, mode of therapy, and EEG result were
important factors in the development of depressive syndrome in
children with epilepsy.
Conclusions The prevalence of depressive syndrome in children
with epilepsy was 38%. Symptoms of depression mostly found in
this study were self-deprecation (via peer comparison), indecisive-
ness, and pessimism
