  Plattner B, Pahs G, Kindler J, Williams RP, Hall RE, Mayer H, Steiner H, Feucht M. Epilepsy Behav. 2007; 10 (4): 560-4

  Since the clinical observations published by Janz in 1957, the presence of personality irregularities in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) has been described repeatedly, but never quantified using standardized assessments. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether juveniles with a short history of JME exhibit psychopathological symptoms and/or personality irregularities.
