%X OBJECTIVE: To measure the severity of symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation in people with epilepsy (PWE) before and after epilepsy surgery using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). We aimed to determine the factors associated to depression in PWE. METHODS: PWE, regardless of epilepsy type, seizure type, duration or frequency of seizures, and AEDs were investigated. The sample (n=468) was divided into two groups: pre-operatory (n=346) and pos-operatory (n=122). RESULTS: Before epilepsy surgery female gender, unemployment and high seizure frequency were associated factors for the occurrence of symptoms of depression. After epilepsy surgery, the only factor associated to high level of depression symptoms was the lack of seizure remission. Suicidal ideation was associated to seizure frequency before and after epilepsy surgery. CONCLUSION: Our results confirm the generally held view that depression is common in PWE and provide further insight to the association of depression with certain socio-demographic and seizure-related factors before and after epilepsy surgery. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a gravidade dos sintomas de depress o e idea  o suicida em pessoas com epilepsia (PCE), antes e ap車s o tratamento cir迆rgico utilizando o Invent芍rio de Depress o de Beck (BDI). Nosso objetivo foi determinar os fatores associados 角 depress o em PCE. M谷TODOS: PCE, independentemente do tipo de epilepsia, tipo de crises, dura  o ou frequ那ncia das crises, e DAEs, foram investigados. Os pacientes (n=468) foram divididos em dois grupos: pr谷-operat車rio (n=346) e de p車s-operat車rio (n=122). RESULTADOS: Antes do tratamento cir迆rgico, o sexo feminino, o desemprego e a alta frequ那ncia de crises foram fatores associados 角 ocorr那ncia de sintomas de depress o. Ap車s a cirurgia de epilepsia, o 迆nico fator associado ao alto n赤vel de sintomas de depress o foi a falta de remiss o de crises. Idea  o suicida foi associada 角 frequ那ncia de crises antes e ap車s a cirurgia de epilepsia. CONCLUS O: Nossos resultados confirmam a opini o generalizada de que a depress o 谷 comum nas PCE e proporcionam mais evid那ncia para a associa  o de depress o com alguns fatores s車cio demogr芍ficos e relacionados 角s crises antes e ap車s o tratamento cir迆rgico das epilepsias.
