Abstract
In the present review we integrated findings from microarray analyses of anticonvulsant treatment, discussing the replicability of the findings and their corroboration with data obtained from patients and with information from other fields of study. We further relate to the duality of several antiepileptic drugs exhibiting both anticonvulsant and moodstabilizing effects in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder, respectively.

Neuromodulation for the treatment of psychiatric disorders
Neuromodulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), magnetic seizure therapy (MST), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), theta burst stimulation (TBS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS), have been widely employed in the therapeutic management of prevalent psychiatric conditions such ...read more
