Focal & Generalised Epilepsy
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know what the condition is called when you get both Focal and Generalised Seizures?

Just a FYI I'm really only trying to see if there is any official name for this.

Thank you.

It's called "combined generalized and focal seizures". But this type really includes many types of seizures. Our sponsor the Epilepsy Foundation has many good articles addressing this.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I just had a look at Focal Epilepsy (HCC) - Hierarchical condition category and it looks more like a risk assessment diagnosis. So while it probably is a diagnosis it is actually a risk assessment. Plus this only covers Focal epilepsy not general referring to Tonic Clonic.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I've had it for 25 I had an assessment 10 years ago and it was Diagnosed as Focal and Generalized Tonic-clonic Seizures. But now I'm being reassessed by, a different neurologist and basically over a longer period and so far they of found that my condition may be different than first thought.
