> Do multiple diagnoses muddy the water with rEEGs in terms of prescribing? Or not? In my teen daughter's case, we have ADHD, dysthymia, social anxiety, Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue features, learning disabilities, dyslexia, and language disorder. How effective would an rEEG be in sorting out all these issues as symptoms overlap so much? Medication side effects are a big problem, thus limiting dosing.
