Neuro-psych testing is use to evaluate BOTH psychiatric and neurological functions.

I have neuro-physh testing planned for late November 2009. This is being done because I have a neurologist who feels I don't have Parkinson's disease; this after 21 years of diagnosis.

Quote:
"Neuropsychological testing is an important component of the assessment and treatment of brain injury, dementia, neurological conditions, and psychological and psychiatric disorders. Neuropsychological testing is also an important tool for examining the effects of toxic substances and medical conditions on brain functioning." Tons more can be read here: http://www.psychologistanywhereanyti...euro-psych.htm
