Epilepsy is scaring to the onlooker, in the old days when science had not advanced like today , people just said the epileptic person was possessed by the devil. Which was not true. Only the most severe seizures are like that. For many people having a seizure you would not see anything all as many seizures are very mild. Between those two extremes there are different levels. So for some you might see some shaking or brief activity, or the person may be talking to themselves, but very little else.

What does a fake seizure look like vs a real seizure?

A fake seizure, or pseudoseizure, often features exaggerated movements, such as thrashing or rolling, and may be more controlled or brief compared to a real seizure. In contrast, a real seizure typically involves involuntary muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, and postictal confusion. Additionally, during a real seizure, the person may not remember the episode afterward, whereas those feigning seizures may retain memory of the event. Physiological signs, like tongue biting or incontinence, are more common in genuine seizures.
