Background: This study aimed to assess the clinical features, Electroencephalography (EEG) findings, and brain imaging results in psychiatric patients diagnosed with epilepsy at Razi Psychiatric Hospital. Methods: This retrospective descriptive-analytical study was carried out on patients with epilepsy and psychiatric disorders admitted to Razi Psychiatric Hospital over two years. A total of 94 patient files seizure and epilepsy comorbidity, recorded in the hospital’s health information system (HIS), were reviewed. Data collection involved a demographic checklist and an epilepsy scale; the latter, developed by DiIorio, Colleen, et al., encompassed personal characteristics, mental disorders, epilepsy, and seizures. The Kruskal-Wallis and MannWhitney non-parametric tests were utilized to compare the mean scores of variables, with SPSS software, version 21 facilitating the analysis Results: Out of 94 patients with seizure and epilepsy, 9.6% had focal seizure, 26.6% had generalized epilepsy, 36.1% had focal-generalized seizure, and 26.8% had unknown seizure. About 12% had a structural etiology, while the remaining 88% had an etiology that remained unidentified. Conclusions: The findings indicate that epilepsy, affecting individuals from adolescence through to old age, can lead to psychiatric disorders. For many patients, the etiology of their condition remains elusive, and EEG findings and brain imaging appear normal in the majority of cases
