Neuropsychiatric Evaluation

What to Expect During an Evaluation

Our comprehensive approach includes:

• Medical & Psychological History Review – A detailed discussion of symptoms, past medical conditions, and family history to identify potential neurological or psychiatric concerns.
• Cognitive & Psychological Testing – Standardized tests to assess memory, attention, reasoning, and emotional health. These tests help determine if cognitive impairments are due to neurological conditions or psychological factors.
• Neuroimaging & Lab Work (if necessary) – Advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI, CT scans, or blood tests to rule out underlying medical conditions contributing to cognitive or behavioral changes.
• Personalized Diagnosis & Treatment Plan – Based on test results, we create a tailored treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes to improve brain function and emotional well-being.

Who Can Benefit from a Neuropsychiatric Evaluation?

You may benefit from this evaluation if you or a loved one experience:

• Sudden memory loss or forgetfulness that disrupts daily activities
• Difficulty concentrating or staying focused at work, school, or in conversations
• Unexplained mood swings or personality changes that seem out of character
