There are others. The tests may better explain the area and extent of any deficits. Then, after some treatment, the tests can he repeated to best monitor changes and improvement.

Seek treatment: We used to believe that the cognitive problems that accompanied mood or psychotic disorders were just a secondary phenomenon, but now we are learning that they are a separate part and maybe the most important part to treat. Make sure your mood and anxiety disorder are being effectively treated. Consider adding n-acetyl cysteine (nac) 1000 mg twice daily to your regimen. Talk to your doctor.
