Tonic Clonic
It is called a Grand Mal seizure. It is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It is characterized by violent muscle contractions and unconsciousness.
Grand Mal Seizures
There are actually six types of seizures. 1. Grand Mal - Unconsciousness, convulsions, muscle rigidity 2. Absence - Brief loss of consciousness 3. Myoclonic - Sporadic jerking movements 4. Clonic - Repetitive jerking movements 5. Tonic - Muscle stiffness and rigidity 6. Atonic - Loss of muscle tone
Epilepsy is caused by unusual electrical activity in the brain. Everyone has electrical activity in their brain, but if this is disrupted in any way, a seizure can occur. If someone who has been on drugs has done some damage to their brain, there is the potential for them to have seizures, so it can happen.
People can get seizures for all sorts of reasons. Some people who have epilepsy can have it genetically. Most people's epilepsy is not genetic, so most Grand Mal seizures are not genetic.
Petechial Hemorrhaging is a known by-product of various types of seizures (i.e. Grand Mal and Nocturnal seizures).
Untreated, petit mal seizures can recur as many as 100 times a day and may progress to grand mal seizures.

Epilepsy, or seizure.
Not necessarily. Some people get both, but some only ever get absence seizures. Epilepsy comes in a wide range of forms and severity, so every case is different.
