Why EEG Test for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention

“I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there” ~ RF~

I like Feynman’s quote — it reflects the essence of science and the difficulty to make real life changes based on science.

I’m trying to tell you that EEG is highly valuable especially in psychiatry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalograph

Only a few know that EEG was invented a century ago by a psychiatrist. He did it for good reasons since most psychiatric problems involve dysfunctions of frontal cortical areas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Berger Today EEG is almost forgotten and many psychiatrists do not see it “as clinically useful”. Well, they are completely wrong, as Feynman would say -they were “born not knowing”.

There are over 25 drugs, from SSRI, SNRI, to NDRI, .. . see https://link.medium.com/8IWlKKrMs0 hard to select one that works for you. Many patients respond differently to the same prescribed drug. The side effects of such drugs should be a matter of concern — don’t try too many!

Based on EEG data anyone can “see” deep inside your brain, what areas are targeted by drug therapy, what kind of effects has in your case. One can even “see” if there is high risk of suicide and the progress of therapy.

The “response to situational distress” in suicidal prevention is the same as the “beauty of a flower” — see the “Ode to a Flower” Feynman’s Famous Monologue   

“ I can appreciate the beauty of a flower “ but the logic tells us that “ insects can see the color”.

Science helps us to see much more about the flower.

The same logic tells us that there is a relationship between depression, the lack of sleep and suicide. In fact we already know which brain regions trigger suicidal thoughts and lead to suicide. Importantly, humans are good and kind by nature, they can badly hurt themselves and others only if their brain is injured https://link.medium.com/oYLEvit2t0 

Every brain is different, and it would be a poor choice to let anyone blindly prescribe therapy solely based on your symptoms. I know we can treat you better! Do you know that you can get better therapy?  

Over  10% of people take antidepressants many of them based on a very poor diagnostic, and a percent of them commit suicide after taking antipsychotics. 

With our novel brain maps we can see much more about depression, suicide, or “situational distress” than anyone else. Importantly, we provide these brain maps online based on your raw EEG data.

If you feel depressed, have mood swings or trouble sleeping, do the right thing –ask for an EEG test!

AddBrain Inc. provides these new types of brain maps online based on recorded EEG data and you can see clearly where brain dysfunctions are located and what type of therapy is recommended
