Some nonepileptic (psychogenic) seizures resemble tonic-clonic seizures. The surest way to tell the difference is with video-EEG monitoring. In some cases, the same person may have both tonic-clonic and nonepileptic seizures.
People who faint sometimes develop tonic or clonic movements. These movements are rarely as intense or prolonged as a tonic-clonic seizure.
