Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is one of the most common forms of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Clinical presentation of this disorder includes myoclonias (usually in upper extremities)
with tonic-clonic generalized seizures and absences. JME belongs to age-dependent type of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Age of onset is usually within 8 to 26 years, and incidence peaks at
14-16 years. The onset is triggered by stress, disturbances in circadian rhythm (night sleep deprivation, early wake-ups), menarche in teenage girls. Despite preserved intelligence,
there is a high risk of anxiety and depressive disorders. This leads to social disadaptation and unemployment, which considerably aggravates social prognosis for patients with JME
