Sometimes certain diagnoses are made by ruling things out. Rather than finding some evidence for what is wrong, you fail to find evidence, and rule out those things it isn't.
That can be what happens with any sort of mental disturbance, including what you are describing. It could have a physical cause (such as a tumour), so they pretty much have to poke around a bit (the MRI, EEG).
If they don't find anything obvious, they will try and treat you based on your symptoms.
The most important thing, IMHO, is to try and describe your symptoms clearly to your doctors. That's the only way you can get the best possible care.
