Most people have no idea what the majority of seizures are like. I certainly didn't, but I wish I did. Most people (55%) unfortunately only go to the doctor after they have a grand mal, meanwhile they've likely been having partial seizures unknowingly for some period of time. Getting checked out early can halt or delay the process of epileptogenesis, which could hopefully result in no, or less severe seizures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epileptogenesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epileptogenesis
Convulsive seizures are also very dangerous, and often result in bodily injury, hospitalization, status epilepticus (a long lasting seizure which may result in brain damage), or SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy)
