What is another word for generalized epilepsy?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəɹə͡lˌa͡ɪzd ˈɛpɪlˌɛpsi] (IPA) 
Generalized epilepsy is a medical condition that affects the brain and leads to recurrent seizures. It is also known by many other names such as idiopathic epilepsy, primary generalized epilepsy, and non-focal epilepsy. Seizures in generalized epilepsy tend to start and spread throughout both sides of the brain, leading to loss of consciousness and muscle rigidity. Other terms used to describe this condition include tonic-clonic epilepsy, grand mal epilepsy, and convulsive epilepsy. Generalized absence epilepsy and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy are also types of generalized epilepsy that are characterized by specific types of seizures. Proper diagnosis and treatment of generalized epilepsy are crucial in managing the symptoms effectively.
