In reply to Neuropsych Testing, Validity, Feedback/Report, posted by Lonely on February 7, 2006, at 23:14:37
Hi Lonely, like James, I don't know the answers, but my sister has MS, and my dad had the neuropsych testing for Alzheimers. It's grueling, and 8 hours does seem like a LONG time. I wouldn't want to have to do it! What was the reason for having it done? Anyway, my sister hasn't done it. She is doing well mentally, just not physically, she's pretty frail. My dad had the testing, and it was done by the doctor along with a lot of talking. He told me, at the time (he's gone now) that he was miffed, so he didn't do as well as he could. Don't know if that's true or not. A lot of things could trigger him, and def. a lack of food or sleep triggers my sister.
Sounds like you feel like you're really getting the run around. Any other place to go for all of this?
