A member asked:

Can one single person have two different types of seizures?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Someone with a seizure disorder can have more than one type of seizure. One can also have varying spread of a single seizure type, for example a seizure that does not become generalized but originates from the same focus. One can have partial seizures for years before one generalizes.
