What other types of seizures are there other than epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes repeated episodes of sudden, brief changes in the brain’s electrical activity. Epileptic episodes are called seizures or convulsions. Primary generalized seizures include tonic-clonic seizures and absence seizures. Other types of seizure include simple partial seizures where the person is actually still awake and aware and complex partial seizures during which the person may be somewhat aware but not responding as expected.
