Findings in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) suggest the temporal lobe as the anatomical-functional basis of religious experiences. Both R\/S are relevant in patients with epilepsy (PWE) since epilepsy can lead to psychosocial issues for a significant portion of patients and their families. Objective: To investigate R\/S in PWE, as well as the impact of different epileptic syndromes on patients' R\/S. Methods: One hundred PWE and 50 healthy volunteers matched for age, sex and educational level were submitted to an interview, as well as three previously validated questionnaires: Index of Core Spiritual Experience (INSPIRIT-R), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-31). Results: PWE's and control's mean ages were 35.9 \u00b1 12.4 vs. 36.3 \u00b1 18.1 years, mean schooling was 8.9 \u00b1 3.7 vs. 10.1 \u00b1 4.2 years. The mean age of epilepsy onset was 14.5 \u00b1 12.1 and monthly frequency of seizures was 5.9 \u00b1 12.6. INSPIRIT-R's scores were not statistically significantly different between patients and controls (3.0 \u00b1 0.8 vs. 3.0 \u00b1 0.8); however, INSPIRIT-R's scores were significantly higher in TLE patients when compared with other epilepsy syndromes (3.2 \u00b1 0.7 vs. 2.8 \u00b1 0.9; p = 0.04). Conclusion: Temporal lobe epilepsy patients have higher levels of R\/S.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0004-282x20190055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,8]],"date-time":"2019-06-08T19:33:19Z","timestamp":1560022399000},"page":"335-340","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Religiosity
