Other disorders such as ''mada'' (intoxication) and ''murchcha'' (syncope) also show the signs of loss of consciousness, but ones without convulsions. In ''unmada'', there is impairment of ''buddhi'', and it does not manifest itself with loss of consciousness. ''Akshepa'' (abnormal movements) is a ''vata''-predominant disease characterized with convulsions, but the consciousness is intact and there is no froth discharge. This makes apasmara a distinct disease apart from other disorders.
