    Almost all seizure types cause some alteration or loss of consciousness, mostly causing a complete or partial loss of memory for the seizure. With some milder seizure types (focal – sensory, motor, autonomic or psychic) there is no alteration in consciousness, and the person is very aware of their surroundings. Often these milder seizure types can lead onto a more severe seizure, where the person has some memory loss.
