Post-Seizure Total Amnesia An epileptic condition can appear at any time of life, although it is usually caused by childhood injuries or conditions. Diagnosed epileptics display different types of seizures. There are three main categories: Simple Partial seizure, Complex Partial, and Generalized Tonic-Clonic, known as "Grande Mal", French for "large illness". The third type is the big problem – it can erase the memory. Amnesia: Loss of Self, Freedom from Inner Fear The best authority on the subject of total identity memory loss is the amnesiac patient whose memory has returned.
