Over the years, a significant amount of research has been conducted showing relationship between epilepsy and depression. Epilepsy and depression are common conditions and often they occur together. Approximately, 40-60% people with epilepsy are affected with depressive symptoms [1]. This is a review article highlighting a strong association between two entities. The main idea behind this review article is to encourage practitioners to keep a close eye on symptoms of depression in people with epilepsy and to treat them accordingly which can impact positively on their quality of life.

Traumatic brain injury, also known as intracranial injury, is defined as an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force (such as rapid acceleration/deceleration or impact). Commonly caused by falls, road traffic accidents and assault, it is the most common cause of death and disability in young people and is predicted to surpass many diseases as the major cause of death and disability by the year 2020 [3]. The burden of this disease is significantly greater in lowand middle-income countries such as Sudan in which there is higher risk for it and where health systems are inadequately prepared to address the associated health outcomes [1].

Atherosclerosis is a complex chronic arterial disease that results from the deposition of lipids within the arterial walls which leads to formation of characteristic plaques making the arteries narrower, harder or completely blocked. The rupture of these plaques causes local thrombosis, leading to occlusion of the affected artery [1]. The principle clinical manifestations of the disease include ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke and peripheral arterial disease [2]. This has become the significant cause of vascular disease worldwide and number one cause of global mortality [3]. According to WHO report, around 17.7 million people died from cardiovascular disease in 2015 which represents 31% of the total global deaths [4]. The major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis is hypercholesterolemia, indicating elevation of body’s Total Cholesterol (TC) and LowDensity Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) levels [4]. Therefore, foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol are particularly responsible for the surge of circulating cholesterol levels [5].
