A Neurophysiological Test May Help Diagnosing Unclear Cases by Soren Nielzen
Journal Title: Acta Psychopathologica - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This case study has been written with the intent to show an example of neurophysiological testing of brain stem functioning to support diagnose and therapy control in psychiatry. Such testing points to the existence of biological changes connected with various disorders. Diagnosis becomes underpinned by an operational definition based on a specific reproducible technique and earlier group comparisons for each diagnostic group.
