Why do I need neuropsychological testing?

Neuropsychological testing helps your provider understand how different areas of your brain are working. It's usually recommended when patients experience change in concentration, reduced organization or decreased memory.

Sometimes, providers use testing to document your abilities before a problem occurs. This establishes your current state and is used to see if, when and how changes happen.
