N2  - In a two-year study of patients admitted to hospital after deliberate self-poisoning or self-injury, a fivefold excess of patients with epilepsy was found compared with general population prevalence rates.

Anticonvulsants, particularly barbiturates, were used in most cases of self poisoning.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
