Abstract : Anxiety is characterized as an overwhelming sense of worry or fear for the future, while epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition. Both anxiety and epilepsy are prevalent conditions that impact individuals globally and are associated with diminished function and life quality. This review article explains about the treatment, etiology, pathophysiology, current advances and neurological relationship between anxiety and epilepsy. Previous research suggests that anxiety disorders are widespread and clinically relevant comorbid diseases in epilepsy patients because anxiety can cause seizures or seizures may cause anxiety. To treat anxiety and epilepsy, a thorough, multidisciplinary clinical assessment is required. Medication, lifestyle modifications, and psychotherapy are also required.

Keywords : Anxiety, Current Advances, Epilepsy, GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid), Treatment, Pathophysiology.
