The three main phases of a seizure are:
Aura stage, stage when an unusual feeling or sensation in body started to happen before the initial seizure
Ictus stage, The main phase when the actual seizure happen
<span>Postictal stage, the end phase when the seizure started to end</span>
For this question it depends on each family and on the patient themselves. I suggest finding and talking to people with bipolar disorder and hear their experiences.
