There are several types of generalized seizures, each with distinct characteristics:
Tonic-Clonic Seizures: Also known as grand mal seizures, these involve a combination of muscle stiffening (tonic phase) and rhythmic muscle contractions (clonic phase). Absence Seizures: Also known as petit mal seizures, these are characterized by brief lapses in consciousness, often mistaken for daydreaming. Myoclonic Seizures: These involve sudden, brief jerks or twitches of the muscles. Atonic Seizures: Also known as drop attacks, these involve a sudden loss of muscle tone, leading to falls and injuries.
