agent,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

What's a DEEG ?

A NeuroPsychological Assessment used a variety of different tests to quantify different kinds of intelligent, memory, cognitive skills, executive functioning, motor speed, processing speed, etc. It can take a minimum of a few hours to 8 hours or more. They cost from $1000 to $5000.

The patient usually is only given a report with general interpretations. Some will include scores and scales compared to normal populations of equal age, education, etc.

For many of us, an NPA just validates what we already suspect but in a way that helps us accept our dysfunctions as real vs imagined.

Some NeuroPsychs will use an NPA to try to direct therapy or changes in direction in career, etc.

So, agent,

What symptoms are you struggling with ?
