PWood,
A Neuro-psych assessment is done by a neuro-psychologist. It takes a minimum of an hour if it is a short assessment but most will be up to 5 to 8 hours. Your neuro can do a MMSE (Mini Mental State Exam) during an extended office visit.
Have your hormones been checked since your concussions? How about D3, folate and B-12?
Glad to hear your are on Bio HRT. Your balanced progesterone has helped limit your concussion severity. Low P leaves the brain susceptible to greater injury.
At least your daughter's comments are from a non-MD. There are plenty of M.D.'s who will say the same thing. If you get a neuro-psych assessment, you can show the report to your daughter.
It helped my wife better understand my condition. I had my first at one year post injury and a follow up by a different Neuro-psych Psy.D. with almost the same results. I figure my condition is stable. I live as if I will not improve.
The important thing is to understand that there are plenty of work-arounds and accommodations to minimize the limits to your daily life.
I was treated by an ortho-molecular psychiatrist almost 30 years ago. He taught me a lot of how to care for my injured brain.
BTW, That scripture is how I make it past my struggles and frustrations.
My best to you.
