Based on the sort of behavior and brain action, seizures are separated into two wide categories: generalized and fractional (too called neighborhood or central). Classifying the sort of seizure makes a difference doctors analyze whether or not a understanding has epilepsy.

Generalized seizures are delivered by electrical motivations from all through the whole brain, though fractional seizures are delivered (at slightest at first) by electrical driving forces in a generally little portion of the brain. The portion of the brain creating the seizures is now and then called the center [1].

Generalized seizures: There are six sorts of generalized seizures. The foremost common and dramatic, and so the foremost well known, is the generalized shaking, moreover called the grand-mal seizure. In this sort of seizure, the quiet loses awareness and as a rule collapses. The misfortune of awareness is taken after by generalized body solidifying (called the "tonic" stage of the seizure) for 30 to 60 seconds, at that point by rough twitching (the "clonic" stage) for 30 to 60 seconds, after which the understanding goes into a profound rest (the "postictal" or after-seizure stage). Amid grand-mal seizures, wounds and mishaps may happen, such as tongue gnawing and urinary incontinence [2].

Absence seizures: Absence seizures cause a brief misfortune of awareness (fair a couple of seconds) with few or no side effects. The quiet, most frequently a child, regularly hinders an action and gazes vacantly. These seizures start and conclusion suddenly and may happen a few times a day. Patients are as a rule not mindful that they are having a seizure, but that they may be mindful of "losing time."

Myoclonic seizures: Myoclonic seizures comprise of intermittent jerks, more often than not on both sides of the body. Patients in some cases depict the jerks as brief electrical stuns. When savage, these seizures may result in dropping or automatically tossing objects.

Clonic seizures: Clonic seizures are dreary, cadenced jerks that include both sides of the body at the same time.

Tonic seizures: Tonic seizures are characterized by solidifying of the muscles.

Atonic seizures: Atonic seizures comprise of a sudden and common misfortune of muscle tone, especially within the arms and legs, which regularly comes about in a drop.

Partial seizures: Partial seizures are isolated into straightforward, complex and those that advance into auxiliary generalized seizures. The distinction between straightforward and complex seizures is that amid basic fractional seizures, patients hold mindfulness; amid complex fractional seizures, they lose mindfulness [3].

Simple partial seizures: Basic fractional seizures are advance subdivided into four categories agreeing to the nature of their indications: engine, autonomic, tangible or mental. Engine side effects incorporate developments such as twitching and solidifying. Tangible side effects caused by seizures include unordinary sensations influencing any of the five faculties (vision, hearing, scent, taste or touch). When basic fractional seizures cause tactile indications as it were (and not engine side effects), they are called "airs." Autonomic side effects influence the autonomic apprehensive framework, which is the bunch of nerves that control the capacities of our organs, just like the heart, stomach, bladder, insides. Subsequently autonomic indications are things like hustling heart beat, stomach disturbed, the runs, misfortune of bladder control. The only common autonomic side effect could be a impossible to miss sensation within the stomach that's experienced by a few patients with a sort of epilepsy called transient projection epilepsy. Basic halfway seizures with mental indications are characterized by different encounters including memory, feelings (such as fear or delight), or other complex mental wonders [4,5].

Complex partial seizures: Complex halfway seizures, by definition, incorporate disability of mindfulness. Patients appear to be "out of touch," "out of it" or "gazing into space" amid these seizures. There may too be a few "complex" indications called automatisms.

Focal seizures: Central seizures, the third kind of fractional seizure is one that starts as a central seizure and advances into a generalized convulsive ("grand-mal") seizure.
