Abstract
In the Research Article "Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Suicidality in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Focal Epilepsy: An Analysis of a Complex Comorbidity" by Kanner et al.,1 there was an error in the coding of hypomanic and manic episodes. This error resulted in an inflated number of patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (n = 24), which dropped to n = 14, and a higher number of patients with only hypomania (n = 23), which dropped to n = 11, after the data were corrected. In addition, in some of these patients, their diagnosis was changed to major depressive disorder. This error also resulted in a higher number of patients with mood disorders (n = 82 [23.6%]), which dropped to n = 65 (17.7% of the entire cohort) when corrected.
