> the risk of a recurrence is highest during the period immediately after the initial seizure. This still isn’t helpful in determining whether the seizure itself makes another seizure more likely, or whether this just means that whatever caused the first seizure is still present. If there is an external factor that triggered the initial seizure, presumably the closer you are in time to the presence of that factor, the more likely it is that another will be triggered by the same factor.
