Epileptic automatisms are a form of epileptic seizures, which usually seldom appear alone, and often accompany epileptic catatonic seizures to appear or seizures with impaired consciousness, and its mechanism is not clear. Due to the different starting sites and transmission modes of abnormal discharges, the clinical manifestations of epileptic seizures are complex and diverse, such as generalized tonic-clonic seizures, tonic seizures, myoclonic seizures, automatisms, and atonic seizures, among other manifestations. Automatisms all occur on the basis of impaired consciousness, accompanied by amnesia, and are manifested by simple movements such as lip smacking, lip licking, swallowing, chewing, teeth clenching, rubbing the face, and fumbling with clothes. Seizures can last from a few seconds to several minutes, and can be unrecognized if they are short and mild. Automatisms are not unique to complex partial seizures, but can occur with other seizures (e.g., apoplectic seizures). The mechanism for the emergence of automatisms is not clear, but may be a release of primitive automatic behaviors as a result of the release of higher control functions. If you suspect automatisms, it is recommended that you go to the neurology department of a hospital to get a clear picture of your condition and standardize your medication under the advice of your doctor.
