Vimpat - are memory issues transient?

Hi @baa
As I know these assessments are usually performed by a neuropsychologist. I do not know if a psychiatrist can perform them and which is best. I am sorry!
My opinion: Psychologists are usually more sensible people, having learned to listen to their patients. I did not have good experiences with Psychiatrists who in 2018 said that first it was necessary to treat my depression and then they would look at those absence episodes I had which today I know were seizures from my epilepsy.

I’ll just wait for Vandy. Don’t know any psychologists here and don’t want to start a new one. Thanks for the advice! Have wonderful day my friend🌷

Depends on the people of course. Psychlogists perform the neuropsych evaluations. As a former therapist I know some great and some lousy psychiatrics. Same with psychologists. Same with any profession, I guess. Personally as a patient, same thing.
