A member asked:
Is it common for a person with epilepsy to show signs of violent behavior during a seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely: This is quite rare but can occur in partial complex seizures during which the patient is capable of semi-purposeful activity and is restrained or redirected from the aim of his/her attention. Misperception of environmental stimuli, in certain circumstances, could also provoke this.
