How does bipolar affect the relative ratio of brain waves (alpha/beta/gamma/delta)?
Can you tell me how bipolar disorder affects the relative ratio of brain waves, specifically alpha, beta, gamma, and delta waves?
Sure. Studies have shown that people with bipolar disorder tend to have increased beta and gamma waves in the manic phase and increased alpha and delta waves in the depressive phase. The relative ratio of these brain waves can therefore be a useful tool in diagnosing and monitoring bipolar disorder.
