Brainwave Analysis
Referenced Electroencephalogram (rEEG)

Brookside Institute uses a state of the art brainwave analysis to identify areas of the brain which are not functioning at capacity and years of medication studies help us quickly identify those medications most likely to succeed.

Medical treatment of mental disorders differs fundamentally from the treatment of all other health problems in one important way: psychiatrists or addiction specialists have no objective way to guide treatment of mental or addictive illness. Physical disorders, such as diabetes, have straight-forward measurements – a specific blood sugar level dictates an appropriate dosage of insulin. Unfortunately, there is no similar measurement for a disorder like depression or drug addiction.

Revolutionary rEEG

EEG is short for "electroencephalogram" and refers to recording the electrical activity of the brain. EEG is a standard procedure available in most hospitals and clinics around the world generally used to evaluate epileptic seizures. The EEG is a measure of brain function, or physiology, rather than a measure of brain structure, or anatomy, like the MRI scan.

Referenced-EEG (“rEEG”) is a patented , proprietary technology that utilizes the EEG in conjunction with a database to identify abnormal patient physiology. Appropriate medications are then selected to normalize discovered abnormalities. Simply put, the patient’s brain shows the psychiatrist what medications will work best to treat the individual disorders.

With this invaluable tool, much of the guesswork for medication and dosage can be avoided. This means that the patient can be prescribed the correct treatment regimen rather than trying several different medications and dosages before the symptoms of the disorders are relieved.
