A member asked:

Is it possible to experience multiple grand mal seizures in a 5 year period like say around 10-12?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Epilepsy: It is possible to have 2-3 seizures per year. Generalized tonic clonic seizures or secondary generalization can occur in different patients at different frequency. Medication and surgical interventions are available to reduce the risk and incidence of seizures.
