Are there different kinds of partial seizures?
Yes. In general, there are two kinds of partial seizures: simple and complex. A person who has a simple partial seizure stays alert and is able to answer questions and follow commands. He or she can also remember what happened during the seizure. A person who has a complex partial seizure experiences a change in or loss of consciousness. The person may not be able to answer questions or follow commands. Often he or she cannot remember what happened during part or all of the seizure.
