“Classifying the type of seizure a patient has helps the healthcare team choose the right therapy for that patient.  Seizure types are divided into two major groups that are called 1.) Generalized-Seizures produced by widespread abnormal electrical impulses present throughout the entire brain.  and 2.) Partial-Seizures produced by electrical impulses that generate from a relatively small or “localized” part of the brain (referred to as the focus).”.
