My nephew, now 22, has epilepsy. At 14, he suddenly became extremely depressed. He stopped eating, refused to get out of bed and go to school, and was suicidal. They consulted several doctors and were about to hospitalize him when a new doctor suggested it might be the depakote, which he had only been taking for a short time, after dylantin stopped working. Sure enough, he switched to tegretol, and the depression lifted.
