Most : Most commonly this type of behavior is not the manifestation of a seizure. Violent behavior can be seen during a complex partial seizure (focal seizure) when someone tries to restrain the person having a seizure. Post-seizure some people may also have abnormal behavior that sometimes can be violent. Many persons with epilepsy sometimes can have between seizures poor control of their emotions and some impulsivity. Psychiatrists will call this episodic dyscontrol syndrome. Some people will report lack of awareness for the episodes making the diagnosis very challenging. Video-eeg testing can confirm that the episodes are not associated with a seizure pattern on the brain waves.
