Abstrakt: This literature review presents data on an EEG biomarker for prognostication (predictors) of therapeutic responses in patients with different types of mental pathology. Quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) indicators recorded before courses of treatment are shown to reflect not only the ongoing functional state of the patient's brain, but also its adaptive resources in terms of the potential for and magnitude of responses to treatment. The EEG indicators of therapeutic responses found in patients with depression, schizophrenia, and various other mental disorders have quite high predictive capacity, sensitivity, and specificity for identifying responders and nonresponders, and provide qualitative predictions for a patient's state after treatment courses, and also help the physician select medications for optimum therapy.
