1. Epilepsy Symptoms

Symptoms of epilepsy vary depending on the severity and type of the seizures that characterize the condition. However, common seizure-related symptoms include staring, loss of physical coordination, confusion, anxiety, loss of consciousness and inability to be aware of surrounding circumstances. Fear is also a symptom of epilepsy, as some who have the condition report feeling strange in the moment right before the onset of a seizure.

One of the unique aspects of epilepsy is that people with this condition tend to have the same types of seizures, which means they have similar symptoms each time.2‘Epilepsy.’ Mayo Clinic, 24 Feb. 2021, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/epilepsy/symptoms-causes/syc-20350093.
