What are the common symptoms of primary epilepsy?

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of primary epilepsy? I heard that epilepsy includes both primary and secondary epilepsy. Are these two types of epilepsy symptoms the same? What are the symptoms of epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

It can be divided into the following types:
1. Generalized tonic-clonic seizure (grand mal)
This type of grand mal is also the most severe.
2. Absence seizure (petit mal)
This type of petit mal primarily manifests as sudden psychomotor interruption.
3. Simple partial seizure
Generally, this involves tonic-clonic episodes in a localized part of the body or on one side of the limb.
4. Complex partial seizure
This is a more complex type of seizure, including psychic sensory, psychomotor, and mixed types.
5. Autonomic seizure
Accompanied by physical symptoms, such as headache-type, limb pain-type, fainting-type, or cardiovascular recurrence.
