It is caused basically due to an abnormal electrical surge that happens in the brain in a particular area and quickly spreads to other parts resulting in loss of consciousness, associated with violent movement of hands and legs, frothing in the mouth, cry with passing urine in clothes and remain unresponsive for a while and then gradually recover. Once they recover, a lot of them complain of muscle pain and body pain.

The good news is that epilepsy is treatable. Epilepsy is of many types. In case of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, a person cries and falls down, lose consciousness, have movement of hands and legs and tongue bite.
