How is a seizure or epilepsy diagnosed?

With regards to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, usually a parent will observe a seizure in their child or, for certain types of seizures in children, a school teacher may notice that a student starts to lose their concentration and then snap back to it. Usually people around you will also notice you're having the seizure. You yourself, oftentimes, may not even know you're having the seizure, you may not even be conscious of the seizure, unless there's something that occurs in the post dictal event or period when you notice something was kind of abnormal and not right.
