Hello!
So I went for a cognitive eval at Kessler Institute. I was told ot would take 3-4 hours. I arrived and was in the doctors office for a total of no more then an hour and a half the begining was background mental health issues in my family then she started with the testing. Simple things like conecting the dots and reading then repeatoing numbers and words right after she said it. To be honest I am a little displeased with the whole evaluation. I found it to be short and simple. I feel it didn't show the problems I have every day that people close to me notice. And it was not nearly as long as the head of the neuropsych dept said it would be. But anyway my results were that due to the fact that it has been more then 42 days after my initial impact and because I have trouble falling asleep that is is now depression. And now because of the depression I have a slow processing speed. So even tho my symptoms now are the same they were when I first got injured thay are from depression not my head injury but back then they were from my head injury. It is very confusing to me. She also said that I have NO problems multi tasking, with memory, or my attention. Mean while everyone around me every day will beg to differ. Pleae share your thoughts on this!
