Often, the patient cannot describe the sensations.These may be:

Sensations such as déjà vu (a feeling of familiarity), jamais vu (a feeling of unfamiliarity)
Amnesia of a single memory or set of memories
A sudden sense of unprovoked fear and anxiety
Nausea
Auditory, visual, olfactory, gustatory, or tactile hallucinations; olfactory hallucinations often seem indescribable to patients beyond "pleasant" or "unpleasant"
Visual distortions such as macropsia and micropsia
Dissociation or derealisation
Synesthesia (stimulation of one sense experienced in a second sense)
Dysphoric or euphoric feelings, fear, anger, and other emotionsFocal aware seizures are often called "auras" when they serve as a warning sign of a subsequent seizure. Regardless, an aura is actually a seizure itself, and such a focal seizure may or may not progress to a focal impaired awareness seizure. People who experience only focal aware seizures may not recognize what they are, nor seek medical care. Focal impaired awareness seizures
Focal impaired awareness seizures are seizures which impair consciousness to some extent: they alter the persons ability to interact normally with their environment. They usually begin with a focal aware seizure, then spread to a larger portion of the temporal lobe, resulting in impaired consciousness. They may include autonomic and psychic features present in focal aware seizures.Signs may include:
Motionless staring
Automatic movements of the hands or mouth
Confusion and disorientation
Altered ability to respond to others, unusual speech
Transient aphasia (losing ability to speak, read, or comprehend spoken word)These seizures tend to have a warning or aura before they occur, and when they occur they generally tend to last only 1–2 minutes.
Postictal period
There is some period of recovery in which neurological function is altered after each of these seizure types. This is the postictal state. The degree and length of postictal impairment directly correlates with the severity of the seizure type. Focal aware seizures often last less than sixty seconds; focal with impaired awareness seizures may last up to two minutes; and generalized tonic clonic seizures may last up to three minutes. The postictal state in seizures other than focal aware may last much longer than the seizure itself. Because a major function of the temporal lobe is short-term memory, a focal with impaired awareness seizure, and a focal to bilateral seizure can cause amnesia for the period of the seizure, meaning that the seizure may not be remembered. Complications
Depression
Individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy have a higher prevalence of depression than the general population. Although the psychosocial impacts of epilepsy may be causative, there are also links in the phenomenology and neurobiology of TLE and depression. Memory
The temporal lobe and particularly the hippocampus play an important role in memory processing. Declarative memory (memories which can be consciously recalled) is formed in the area of the hippocampus called the dentate gyrus.Temporal lobe epilepsy is associated with memory disorders and loss of memory. Animal models and clinical studies show that memory loss correlates with temporal lobe neuronal loss in temporal lobe epilepsy. Verbal memory deficit correlates with pyramidal cell loss in TLE. This is more so on the left in verbal memory loss.
