Listen "Rethinking Schizophrenia: From DSM to Brain Data"
Episode Synopsis
Description:What if the brain held measurable signals that could enhance how we diagnose and treat schizophrenia?In this episode of Off Label: Data, Diagnostics, and the Future of Mental Health, we explore the scientific and clinical promise of EEG and quantitative EEG (qEEG) in understanding one of psychiatry’s most complex conditions: schizophrenia. Featuring insights from Dr. Steve Rondeau, we examine the reliability of EEG data, the patterns commonly observed in schizophrenia, and the challenges of integrating these tools into clinical practice.You’ll hear a critical but hopeful discussion about the potential for qEEG to improve diagnostic accuracy, track treatment effects, and offer a more objective foundation for psychiatric decision-making. We also confront the limitations—standardization gaps, signal variability, and interpretation hurdles—and what’s needed to bridge the science into widespread care.Whether you're a clinician navigating complex diagnoses or a listener interested in how brain data might transform psychiatry, this episode dives deep into one of the field’s most debated and promising frontiers.
