A tonic-clonic seizure involves both tonic (stiffening) and clonic (jerking) phases, usually with a change in consciousness. The tonic phase is characterized by muscle stiffening, while the clonic phase involves rhythmic jerking movements of the limbs. Conversely, brief lapses in attention are typical of absence seizures, and automatisms are generally seen in focal seizures.
