【 摘 要 】

An epileptic seizure is a transient symptom of excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain, which can be observed by electroencephalography (EEG). The epileptic seizure which characterized by abrupt loss of consciousness followed by tonic contraction of the muscles often impact depressive disorder. Although dhikr has been widely used to reduce depressive disorder, only a little research is known about the impact to epileptic seizure. This research aims to determine influence of dhikr on epileptiform activity in a teenager with depression disorder. The method used in this research was quasi experimental study using the Single Subject Randomized Time Series Design in a teenager with high depression disorder. Dhikr were conducted routinely in 4 weeks. This study's result showed there's a reduction to zero on artefact signs of seizure in EEG record of the subject even under stressful conditions. There's also an enhancement of epileptic fuze resistance. Dhikr succeeded to reduce epileptiform activity in the subject. This can be considered in other epileptic teenager with depression disorder.
