Precisely! And that is what I think depression is also.

Elizabeth--how would they know? Most people don't get a QEEG done. Also, I had a temporal lobe only EEG print out from the Neurofeedback people and showed it to my pdoc; it still showed these sharp spikes or subthreshold seizure activity. I said, it looks like the anti-convulsant (Neurontin) isn't doing anything to these spikes; he said "You're right!"; pondered it a bit and then said "you know, maybe you need to think about Xanax or Ativan". What do Xanax or Ativan have to do with subthreshold seizure activity?

You're right. I should think about having one done, although I'm not sure it would make a difference in the treatment course.
