Neuropsychological Exam...
 

Through brain surgery and other diseases, my memory and brain and been damaged, and I have to have a neuropsychological exam next week. I am only 26. It's hard. Can anybody tell me what to expect if they have been through one?

I'm sorry, I have not been through one personally, but there is much information online: neuropsychological exam

Hello MBK2323,

I have had a Neuropsych evaluation and testing.

I had 3 appointments:

(1) Evaluation (discussing medical history, Medications, Cognitive problems/difficulties)

(2) Testing

(3) Testing results, discussion of possible cognitive deficits (if any), what might be needed and/or options to help with possible cognitive deficits (if any).

Testing can consist of puzzles, math, remembering what you see (pictures), drawing shapes, remembering parts of a story, words, numbers.

Testing can take several hours. I found it helpful to have someone with me the day of testing. They can't be in testing with you but I was mentally exhausted and tired enough that focusing on driving would have been difficult.
