Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Good to get tested: You need to see a psychologist or neuropsychologist to get these tests. Psychiatrists can give rating scales, but i find cognitive performance testing far more reliable and indicative of the disorder. Especially in adults.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
