Recently, patients with comorbid conditions such as epilepsy and dissociative (psychogenic non-epileptic) seizures have been increasingly identified in clinical practice. No generally accepted diagnostic algorithms for confirming such conditions are currently available. However, it is known that patients with epilepsy and comorbid pathology have certain personality characteristics, for identifying which an experimental psychological examination is conducted, which uses multidimensional personality questionnaires. Among them, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is most widespread, adapted by L.N. Sobchik (2007) as a standardized multifactorial personality study.</p></sec><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: To examine the personality pattern in patients with epilepsy and comorbid dissociative disorders.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The study included 54 patients with epilepsy, 27 of them with comorbid dissociative disorders (ED group) in the form of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, and 27 respondents with exclusively epileptic seizures (E group). All study participants underwent clinical and psychological examinations using MMPI.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Patients in ED vs. E group had a higher level of hypochondria score points (74.96 vs 65.23 points; p=0.012). According to the results of the assessment by the scale of anxiety and depression, the average score in ED group was lower than in E group (64.26 vs 75.77 points; p=0.001). According to the hysteria scale, patients in ED group had a higher average score compared with E group (73.26 vs 64.08 points; p=0.014).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Patients with epilepsy and comorbid dissociative disorders have higher levels of hypochondria, hysteria, as well as low levels of anxiety and depression, compared with patients without conversion disorders. The results obtained correspond to the “conversion five” and characterize the personality pattern observed in such patients.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Актуальность</title><p>Актуальность. В последнее время в клинической практике все чаще выявляются пациенты с коморбидными состояниями – эпилепсией и диссоциативными (психогенными неэпилептическими) приступами. Общепринятых диагностических алгоритмов для подтверждения таких состояний не разработано. Однако известно, что больные эпилепсией с коморбидной патологией имеют определенные особенности в структуре личности. Для выявления таких характеристик проводится экспериментальное психологическое обследование, в рамках которого используются многоаспектные личностные опросники. Наиболее широко распространен Миннесотский многоаспектный личностный опросник (англ. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, MMPI), в адаптации Л.Н. Собчик (2007 г.) – стандартизированное многофакторное исследование личности (СМИЛ).</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель: изучить структуру личности пациентов с эпилепсией и коморбидными диссоциативными расстройствами.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В исследование включены 54 пациента с эпилепсией, из них 27 человек с коморбидными диссоциативными расстройствами (группа ЭД) в виде психогенных неэпилептических приступов и 27 респондентов исключительно с эпилептическими приступами (группа Э). Всем участникам проведено клинико-психологическое обследование с применением MMPI.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. У пациентов группы ЭД прослеживаются более высокие показатели по шкале ипохондрии в сравнении с группой Э (74,96 против 65,23 балла; p=0,012). По результатам оценки по шкале тревоги и депрессии у участников группы ЭД среднее значение ниже, чем в группе Э (64,26 против 75,77 балла; p=0,001). По шкале истерии в группе ЭД получены более высокие показатели в сравнении с группой Э (73,26 против 64,08 балла; p=0,014).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. У больных эпилепсией с коморбидными диссоциативными расстройствами определяется более высокий уровень ипохондрии, истерии, а также низкий уровень тревоги и депрессии по сравнению с пациентами без конверсионных наслоений. Полученные результаты соответствуют «конверсионной пятерке» и характеризуют структуру личности у данных пациентов.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эпилепсия</kwd><kwd>диссоциативное расстройство</kwd><kwd>Миннесотский многоаспектный личностный опросник</kwd><kwd>стандартизированное многофакторное исследование личности</kwd><kwd>психологическое обследование</kwd><kwd>конверсионная пятерка</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>epilepsy</kwd><kwd>dissociative disorder</kwd><kwd>Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory</kwd><kwd>standardized multiphasic personality study</kwd><kwd>psychological examination</kwd><kwd>conversion five</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено в рамках государственного задания ФГБУ «Национальный медицинский исследовательский центр психиатрии и неврологии им.
