Epilepsy due to vitiation of all the three doshas and showing all clinical features of the ''sannipatika'' variant (i.e., of all the other three ''doshic'' variants) is chronic in nature and that, which has occurred in a person with excess degenerative condition and depleted ''dhatus'', is considered incurable. In case of degenerative conditions and chronic diseases, any case of apasmara due to vitiation of even a single ''dosha'' can be considered incurable.

Bad prognostic signs of apasmara patients can often turn fatal. If one, in his wakeful state sees darkness where there is no darkness and hears all types of sound even when there is no sound, he succumbs to apasmara. If a patient, while dancing in an intoxicated state is caught by a ''preta'' (soul of a dead person) with his head facing downwards, he is sure to succumb to an attack of apasmara.
