What is a neuropsychological screening?

Often these screenings are delivered in a “short form” compared to neuropsychological and psychological examinations. They are harmless, ask for you to report any complaints, last only a few minutes, and can be conducted with anyone just as they are.

Neuropsychological screenings may conclude that you or your loved one are well, and that no further examination is needed. Sometimes these screenings illustrate that further examination to your health and functioning is needed. Screenings ask you to perform one or more simple tasks.

Neuropsychological screenings aim to quickly assess:

• Your current mental state.
• Any impairment.
• Your current coordination and accuracy.
• Problems in memory, cognition, or motor functioning.
• Intoxication.
• Quality of functioning between your brain, cognition, and behavior.
• Any indications of a major neurocognitive or neuropsychological issue.

What am I being screened for?

These quick screenings can help your provider better evaluate existence or onset of:

• Delirium.
• Dementia.
• Neurological problems or fluctuations.
• Psychological problems.
• A major disease.
• Possible brain damage.
• Abnormalities in brain functioning.
• Any means for further testing or intervention.

What are the expectations of a neuropsychological screening?

The expectations sometimes are that you draw a small picture, that you remember a series of numbers or words, and/or that you recite common knowledge. These are quite easy tasks that can potentially deliver very valuable information about your brain (neurology), your motor abilities, your health, and your wellbeing.

While undergoing a screening of your neuropsychology, the expectations are that you do your best. These are introductory examinations so there are not many expectations of you. We need to hear what you are going through.

It may be essential for you to follow the recommendations for further testing or intervention if it is recommended to you. Early intervention is important and can be particularly important to your health and future.

Who can deliver these exams?

Our trained specialists and professionals at Thoughtwise can conduct neuropsychological evaluations readily.

With the results of these tests, and among incorporating information from your history and background, further testing may be recommended. There are many ways that these types of screenings can be helpful.

You may need to undergo screening, and especially if you have never had one before, or if you have recently started suffering from psychodynamic or neurological issues such as deficits in coordination, forgetfulness, perception or motor control, or if you have recently suffered a head injury, concussion, a micro-concussion.
