Is major depressive disorder specifically associated with mesial temporal sclerosis?

Purpose:  Whether a specific lesion such as mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) increases the risk for a mood disorder in epilepsy remains subject to debate. Despite evidence of limbic system involvement in the genesis of emotional symptoms, recent studies fail to support an association between depression and MTS. We aimed to clarify this controversial issue by overcoming prior methodologic limitations, hypothesizing that rates of major depressive disorder (MDD) would be higher in patients with MTS.
