Comparing the Absolute Power of Brain Waves in the Frontal Area among People with Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Normal

Abstract

The the power of obsessive-compulsive disorder compared to the control group. The delta, theta, and alpha absolute power at frontal lobes of patients with obsessive-compulsion significantly increased, and the alpha and beta absolute power at frontal lobes of patients with major depressive disorder significantly decreased compared to the control group. Conclusions: These results showed that the pattern of brain waves can be posed as an index for diagnosing and follow-upping of the therapeutic outcomes of major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders Furthermore, it can be used in designing neurofeedback interventions for these disorders. ss
