A generalized tonic-clonic seizure, also known as a grand mal seizure, involves both tonic and clonic phases. The tonic phase is characterized by a sudden loss of consciousness and muscle stiffening, while the clonic phase involves rhythmic muscle contractions. This type of seizure typically lasts several minutes and may result in postictal confusion.
