What is QEEG Brain Mapping?

       Diagnosis Based on Observation:

 

Normally, children are diagnosed with ADHD based on descriptions of their symptoms, but these observations are subjective - everyone has different standards and expectations.

 

A diagnosis based on observation of behavior can only see symptoms - not their cause. Many issues look like ADHD - but have different underlying causes.

 

        Diagnosis Based on Measurement :                                                                             

 

QEEG brain mapping measures the activity in the brain itself, comparing it with other people of the same age.

 

It shows the origin of issues that have similar symptoms, but different underlying causes…

- or the racing brain of anxiety:

                                 

 

 

 

 

Brain mapping is quick, simple and painless (see Sean, above) - and removes the guesswork from diagnosis.

 

Brain mapping provides a roadmap for treatment - and measures its effectiveness:

 

Brain maps before, during and after treatment allow the effectiveness of treatment to be measured:
