Overview
Electroencephalographic (EEG) changes are observed in PD, however, they are not diagnostic.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Electroencephalographic (EEG) may be helpful in the diagnosis of personality disorder. EEG findings in borderline personality disorder has been studied and data regarding other kinds of PDs is lacking. A recent study conducted by Shankar et al, demonstrated the presence of sharp and spike waves in severe BPD and nonspecific slowing waves in mild and moderate form of BPD [1]. Previously, a study to demonstrate relationship between clinical symptoms and EEG findings was carried out by Ogiso et al. in 1993. it revealed presence of positive spike waves with higher scores on impulse action patterns and spike phantoms were observed for those with high scores for interpersonal relations.[2]
