AB  - BACKGROUND/AIM: Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological problem that impairs 
      daily activities, functionality, and quality of life. Childhood traumas (CTs) are 
      known to be critical factors in the onset or development of many psychiatric and 
      medical disorders. They also play a critical role in the development of 
      temperament and personality. This study aimed to investigate the association 
      between CTs and common temperament patterns and features seen in epilepsy 
      patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 38 patients who were 
      diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and volunteered to participate 
      in the study. In addition to the sociodemographic form and questions on disease 
      features, Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Temperament 
      Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Questionnaire (TEMPS-A), 
      Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck 
      Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered to all participants. In the present 
      study, a cut-off value of 35 was used for the CTQ scale. The patients with CTQ 
      scores lower than 35 (50%, n = 19, Group 1) and the patients with CTQ scores 
      above 35 (50%, n = 19, Group 2) were compared. RESULTS: The comparison of TEMPS-A 
      and its subscale scores in the JME patients in the groups with CTQ scores above 
      or below a cut-off value detected significant differences between the groups in 
      depressive and irritable temperament scores. The mean BDI scores were also 
      different between the two groups. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation 
      was detected between the disease duration, anxiety, and depression scores in the 
      JME patients. A significant relationship was detected between the emotional 
      neglect subscale score of the JME patients and the BDI scores. A significant 
      positive correlation was found between the total disease duration, BDI, and BAI. 
      Significant moderate-level relationships were found between the BDI score and 
      irritable, depressive, cyclothymic, and anxious temperaments and between the BAI 
      score and irritable, depressive, cyclothymic, and anxious temperaments. 
      CONCLUSION: Several temperamental features of JME patients are related to CTs. 
      More depressive symptoms are seen in JME patients with higher disease durations.
