The review examines risk factors for aggression development in epilepsy, the relationship between epileptic focus localization and aggression character; provides assessment of aggressive behavior within various psychopathological states. The prevalence of depressive disorders and suicidal behavior in epileptic disease is noted. The connection between individual forms of paroxysmal states characteristic of epilepsy and their stages with aggressive behavior is shown.
