Why EEG Helps Doctors Understand Depression

Depression isn’t “all in your head” in the sense of being imaginary – it is in your head, in your brain’s wiring. Studies at major centers (like Stanford Medicine) show that brain scans can identify different depression “types” and predict which treatments will work bestmed.stanford.edu.While EEG isn’t an instant depression “diagnosis,” it adds crucial information. For example, certain wave patterns can confirm if depression is linked to anxiety or other conditions. It can also rule out epilepsy or sleep issues that sometimes mimic depression. This lets you stop the endless trial-and-error and start a treatment plan with real direction.

Take the Next Step

Depression can feel like an endless loop of unanswered questions. You don’t have to settle for that. At Kampala EEG Laboratory, our goal is to give you clarity and control. Book your brain scan today and move from confusion to confidence – we’re here to support you every step of the way.

FAQ

ask us
anything

Is the EEG painful or dangerous?

No. EEG is completely painless and safe. We attach small sensors with gel – you won’t feel any shocks or discomfort.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No referral is required. You can self-refer and book online right now. (Referrals from psychiatrists are also welcome.)

Will the scan diagnose my depression?

The EEG by itself doesn’t label “you have depression.” But it shows brainwave patterns. We interpret these patterns (for example, areas of under-activity or imbalance) that often accompany depression. This objective data helps confirm and refine your doctor’s diagnosis, leading to better-targeted treatment.

How long does it take and when do I get results?

The EEG recording is about 30–60 minutes. We analyze the data immediately and give you a full report the same day. You won’t have to wait.

How much does it cost?

We believe in transparency. Our package of 200,000ugx includes the test, a detailed report, and one-on-one review with a specialist. (For reference, many patients find this one-time fee comparable to a few weeks of ineffective trial treatments.)
