Thanks Cris. You answered my question.
I have another question, what do they do during a neuropsychological evaluation?
Take care,
Jake

Hi Jake,
In a neuropsychological evaluation, there is an interview and then tests are given to evaluate brain functions. My neuropsychologist was very carefull and my evaluation was done in 4 different days. After that, she made analysis comparing my performance to the average of people of my age and education level, writing a report which she has discussed with me and my husband. My temporal lobe epilepsy has affected both my cognitive and executive functions.
Here an extract of what I have found on internet and is consonant with the experience I had.
"Tests of intellectual functioning, attention, learning and memory, reasoning and problem-solving, visuospatial skills, and language, as well as mood and personality. An interview with the patient and a family member or friend, if possible. Medical record review"
Here is a link with more information on it:

Hope that every day it gets better for you!
