WHOA! (((esthersvirtue))) Sorry you are so confused, but maybe due to your depression you didn't really understand what was told you...or they didn't really explain things to you? Let me pull a quote about QEEGs, since you need the expert's wording
</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>

QEEG's can also serve as an effective tool for differentiating between organic and functional brain disorders. This functional data provides an excellent supplement to data obtained from CT scans and MRI's. For instance, QEEG is a useful tool for differentiating between physiological and functional causes of depression and hyperactivity. It has also been helpful in the identification of schizophrenia and dementias. This procedure can be employed to identify cases of cerebral atrophy associated with alcoholism or drug abuse as well as determining whether a child is presenting with neurologically based attention deficit disorder or one of psychogenic origin.

It doesn't decide if you are depressed or not. It rules out brain dysfunction due to such as a brain injury...etc.

Please don't be ashamed! There's no shame in this. This is a good thing...this result. It doesn't mean depression isn't real...for we all know it is.

I suggest you continue to discuss this with your psychologist, and ask the hard questions for you... I think you will find the answers aren't hard to hear.

Here's some more from the experts...I hope you will see that they are ruling OUT possible causes and disorders. </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
For who would a QEEG be appropriate?

QEEG's are initially performed to determine the presence of focal or generalised cerebral dysfunction

following a closed head injury, stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary dysfunction following hypoxia;

when seizure disorders or tumours are suspected;

in suspected cases of Attention Deficit Disorder

in suspected cases of specific learning disabilities

in suspected cases of cerebral dysfunction related to substance abuse;

when pathological alterations in vigilance (narcolepsy, confusion, coma) or acute nervous system processes (acute headaches, vomiting, aphasia) have been observed;

to investigate cerebrovascular disorders.

QEEG's can also be used

as follow-up to monitor organic brain syndromes, alcohol withdrawal, chemotherapy/radiation treatment, withdrawal from psychotropic medication or illicit drugs;

to follow-up on infectious diseases such as encephalitis or meningitis

to follow-up on post-operative status.
