Absence seizures involve abrupt periods of loss of consciousness lasting 3 to 5 seconds. Tonic-clonic seizures involve dramatic muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, and a recovery period characterized by confusion and exhaustion. Myoclonic seizures involve short, sporadic periods of muscle contractions lasting for several minutes. These types of seizures are rare. Status epilepticus seizures are the most dangerous and rapidly occur one after another.
