anyone here had neuropsychological testing done?

Posted by g_g_g_unit on June 18, 2010, at 23:19:47

i've been having tremendous short-term/working memory difficulties, which i'd like to have assessed. i'd also like to settle the question of whether or not i might have co-morbid ADD.

the psychiatrist i'm seeing made me complete a short series of neurocognitive exercises which ran about 45 minutes in total, and which measured logic, executive functioning, etc. supposedly i was fine in all measures, but my scorecard is really failing to account for the phenomenological difficulties i'm facing.

comparatively, neuropsychological testing runs for 6 hours - but again, is this only going to be useful in instances of brain injury? how accurate is it in detecting ADD?
