<p>A high theta over beta ratio at Cz has been confirmed by the Food and drug administration as an indicator of ADHD. The theta/ beta ratio is best known as a predictor of Attention Deficit disorders. Typically, when one has too much theta and not enough beta, their abilities to focus and concentrate are compromised. In the case of a low theta/beta ratio, the amount of theta is too low and the amount of beta is too high, suggesting one who veers to the other end of the attention spectrum. This could manifest in many ways, including someone who is rigid or fixed in thought, someone who pays meticulous attention to detail, sometimes to a fault.&nbsp;</p><p>There is the possibility that the “small stuff” is a source of stress, where details can become overwhelming and the component parts of a task, job, or endeavor are scrutinized and overthought to a detrimental degree.&nbsp; There could be signs or symptoms of obsession, rumination, and the desire to take care of things oneself, instead of having others handle tasks, under the belief that “my way is the best way” or “only I know how to do it right.” In its best light, this low ratio may indicate a high level of proficiency and efficiency; someone who produces meticulous, detail oriented, high quality work. The question then is: is this effort pleasurable?</p><p><br></p>
