What is the difference between the terms "ictal," "postictal" and "interictal"?

The term “ictal” is usually used to describe an ictal event. An ictal event is a seizure. The term “postictal” is an adjective referring to a period of time. We're curious to know what the behavior is of the person after the seizure, so ask, “What is the postictal behavior? Is the person lazy, lethargic, or did they snap out of it immediately and start conversing?” Postictal behavior is a way we use the term “postictal.” In terms of “interictal,” we are often looking at the interictal period of time: "How much time occurred between the different seizure events?"
