However, 'neuro' people think that's not productive.

In our case, I would like to see EEGs done on pre-adolescents in our family, to get treated sooner. Only one of us lived his life dictated by seizure activity. The majority of us have been "controlled" with medicine. Although four generations have been diagnosed with it, epilepsy is as mysterious as ever. With a genetic "oomph", seizure activity that can be induced in almost anyone, became personal. Therefore, an EEG reading can help predict a brain injury patient’s recovery period.Įpilepsy runs in my family. In particular, the amount of brain activity is directly related to how well a person will think, reason, and function in everyday activities. EEG results may pinpoint both of these issues. When an individual suffers a brain injury, the severity of the damage and the location of the injury are vital factors for treatment. In addition to detecting a potential disorder, an abnormal EEG can also provide insight into the extent of an already-known brain condition.

In addition, some avenues of research suggest EEGs may be useful in predicting if an individual is susceptible to progressive mental disorders like schizophrenia or depression. Slower output of brain waves is among the first indicators of a degenerative brain disorder like Alzheimer’s disease. In a healthy individual, brain activity increases when a person is conscious and fully functioning. Technicians look for the frequency of electrical brain activity as well as patterns. Disorders that worsen over time, or degenerative disorders, can also be effectively discovered by an abnormal EEG.
