Hi Pretty!
I hope you got my mail! Love the pics :-)
An EEG measures the electrical activity in different parts of your brain. They stick lots of little things on your head. Here is a picture of someone having an EEG.........

An EEG *can't* diagnose a psych disorder such as schizophrenia or depression. EEGs are used to detect various 'medical' conditions which might mimic a psych disorder. An EEG is particularly important to diagnose epilepsy.
