The frequency of seizure remission failures in children is 10.87%, in adults – from 10.00% to 42.30%. The increase in seizures after the start of the full-scale war occurred in 31.11% of children and 51.98% of adult patients with epilepsy. The use of available means of communication and options for contacting a doctor allowed both children and adult patients with epilepsy to receive generally satisfactory medical care during military operations. There is a statistically significant increase in behavioral disorders, emotional and “psychological” problems in children with epilepsy. The strongest predictors of mental health in adults are: female gender, exacerbation of seizures, need for mental health support, and patients' assessment of epilepsy severity.
