Psychotic disorders are prevalent among people with epilepsy compared to the general population. However, there is limited information regarding psychosis among people with epilepsy in Uganda. This study therefore determined the prevalence and associated factors of psychosis among adults with epilepsy attending Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital in Uganda. This was a cross-sectional study involving adults with epilepsy. The diagnosis of psychosis was assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview, module for Psychotic disorders. Logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with psychosis. Out of 250 participants, 6.8% had psychosis and 13.6% had depression. Psychosis was significantly associated with older age, greater perceived stigma and substance use. Psychosis affects nearly 7% of adults with epilepsy in Uganda especially among those who are older, with perceived stigma and substance use. Routine screening and early intervention to management of psychosis in PWE is highly recommended.

与一般人群相比，精神障碍在癫痫患者中更为普遍。然而，有关乌干达癫痫患者精神病的信息有限。因此，本研究确定了乌干达布塔比卡国家转诊精神病院的成人癫痫患者中精神病的患病率和相关因素。这是一项涉及成人癫痫患者的横断面研究。使用小型国际神经精神病学访谈（精神病性障碍模块）评估精神病的诊断。逻辑回归分析确定了与精神病相关的因素。在 250 名参与者中，6.8% 患有精神病，13.6% 患有抑郁症。精神病与年龄较大、耻辱感和药物滥用显着相关。在乌干达，近 7% 的成人癫痫患者患有精神病，尤其是老年人，他们感到耻辱和滥用药物。强烈建议对 PWE 中的精神病进行常规筛查和早期干预管理。
