Psychological & Neuropsychological Testings are important first steps in determining the client’s issues that are used to diagnose their symptoms based on the results. Before a Psychologist or Neuropsychologist can make a treatment plan for their clients, they first need to have them undergo tests that can help them understand the extent of their issues.
Psychological testing involves tests that are aimed to help individuals who have mental or psychological health problems, while Neuropsychological Testing uses batteries of tests that are mainly used for a comprehensive assessment of cognition and behavior.
