### Medical Methods for Testing for Schizophrenia Medical methods such as brain mapping and brain scanning to test for schizophrenia are valuable tools in research related to this disease and can help understand the structure and function of the brain in affected people.. These methods may show biological changes associated with some disorders and are used in differential diagnosis and monitoring treatment. The diagnosis of schizophrenia is based mainly on standard diagnostic criteria found in manuals such as DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) and ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition). Provides treatment results.. ### The role of brain mapping in the diagnosis of schizophrenia Quantitative brain mapping or qEEG plays a supportive and complementary role in schizophrenia testing.. qEEG provides digital brain activity patterns by digital analysis of EEG data, quantitatively and comparable to conventional databases... (related to rest and relaxation), and increased gamma wave activity (related to cognitive processing).... These findings can provide evidence that supports the diagnosis of schizophrenia and differentiates it from Other psychiatric disorders help.. However, qEEG alone is not sufficient to make a definitive diagnosis of schizophrenia, and the final diagnosis is clinical, including symptoms and psychiatric examination.. Based on standard diagnostic criteria (such as DSM or ICD)....

Invasive procedures are usually referred to as interventions that directly affect the structure or function of the brain. Currently, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most well-known invasive methods used in severe and resistant cases. This method can help improve the symptoms of schizophrenia by applying a controlled electrical current to the brain.
