Epileptic seizure lasts for the maximum of two minutes before the person returns to a normal state. Bladder control however, is usually absent at this stage. Epileptic seizure can be caused by either provocation or without provocation

In provocation, the causes are very low blood sugar and blood sodium, severe fever, brain infection or concussion. Without provocation; brain injury or tumor and a stroke.

When a seizure lasts more than a maximum of two minutes, it is declared an emergency but some seizures do last for about five minutes and it is regarded as normal. There hasn't been any form of cure for epileptic seizures but there are temporary treatments which can prevent frequent seizures.
