Key points

  • Episodes can vary. A seizure may happen while a person is awake or asleep, and may not look the same every time.
  • Context helps. What occurs before, during and after a seizure can help distinguish it from events that may look similar.
  • Epilepsy is one cause. Not every seizure is linked to epilepsy, and seizure disorders include a range of causes and experiences.
  • Management differs. The way a seizure disorder is managed can vary with the seizure type and its cause.
