Methodology: From August 16th, 2022 until October 20th, 2023 a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on a non-probability (purposive sampling) sample of 100 epileptic patients who were visiting the middle euphrates neurological sciences center in AL-Najaf AL-Ashraf Province. Findings: According to the study's findings, the majority males between the ages of 20 and 30 make up the majority of the participants; they are married, a large portion of the sample was illiterate and the patients were satisfied with their monthly income; the disease of onset was found to be at 21 years of age or older; most of them did not smoke; and the pathology of epilepsy is idiopathic rather than symptomatic in clinical data. Lastly, there was no discernible correlation between the patient's clinical and demographic data and their overall PSYCHOLOGICAL aspects. Results: The results of this study showed that social stigma and isolation are two ways that epilepsy affects a patient's management.
