| dc.description.abstract | The value of EEG in the practice of psychiatry has been a debated issue since the advent of these neurophysiological studies in the 1930’s. Surprisingly, there are few credible studies in this area, and much of the earlier work is bedevilled by poor research design and hence unwarranted conclusions. A brief review in this issue highlights some of the conflicting reports and ventures the opinion that routine referral of all patients attending a psychiatric service is not appropriate in view of the likely low yield of results which will change the patient’s management, and the attendant risk of over-interpretation of minor non-specific findings which may lead to falsepositive diagnoses. | |
