Depression, anxiety and seizures

It's a long story but my partner has had depression and anxiety most of his adult life and on Friday, after a longish period of recovery, he suffered a massive blow at work to the extent that he will have to leave without redundancy in March. Since then he has been struggling on a level I have never seen with nighttime terrors and suicidal thoughts. We went to the GP yesterday, who was mildly helpful (upped the dose of his anti-depressants and gave him a card with numbers on etc etc). Then last night he appeared to have a mild seizure - babbling, eyes rolling, cconfused, and came out of it as quickly as he went in and claimed he felt much better and clearer afterwards. He claims he's never experienced that before. I just want to know, is this a 'thing' or is it likely to be something physical separate from the mental? I don't quite know what to do. He just wants to move on from it. After three nights of hardly any sleep I am so very tired so please excuse me if I am not making much sense. I have also had mental health problems myself in the past - PND, most severly after DS3 - so I have a lot of understanding for much of what he is going through but this is a new thing for me to encounter too.
