Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
No..EEG or the glue used for it,doesn't seem to cause hair loss.In my opinion,the drug depakote is associated commonly with hair loss(non-scarring type) which could have started to appear recently.Consult with his treating physician for dose reduction or altering the treatment regimen whichever is appropriate.Hope i have answered your query.
