Core Tip This study identifies unemployment, high seizure frequency, polytherapy, and longer disease duration as key risk factors for anxiety and depression in Chinese patients with epilepsy. A clinical prediction model based on these factors effectively identifies high-risk individuals. Critically, comorbid anxiety and depression severely impair quality of life across all domains. These findings underscore the necessity of integrated care, combining optimized seizure control, medication review, and mental health support, to improve the holistic well-being of people living with epilepsy.
