What Are The Major Types Of Seizures?

Epilepsy, the most common seizure condition, occurs when there's abnormal electrical activity in an individual's central nervous system. The misfiring nerves cause seizure activity, which can affect the muscles, senses, or behavior on a short-term basis. Different people tend to have different seizures and symptom presentations, but most have fairly consistent symptoms from seizure to seizure. The two main types of seizures are focal and general seizures. Some seizures are more common in children, while others are more common in adults.
