Cognitive and psychological deficits may be frequent in patients with epileptic disorders. The study was aimed at assessing the cognitive (memory and academic achievement) and psychological (anxiety and depression) deficits associated with epileptic disorders. The study also examined the effect of socio-economic status of the patient in ameliorating the cognitive and psychological deficits associated with the epileptic disorder. One hundred (n=100) respondents consisting of epileptic children (n=50) visiting the neurological clinic at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and healthy control group (n=50) from West African Basic School were selected to respond to questionnaires measuring cognitive and psychological deficits. Data were analysed using the MANOVA. Results of the study indicated higher psychological deficits among epileptic children compared to healthy control group.
