Neuropsychiatric Evaluations

At the Brain and Mind Healing Center, every treatment journey begins with clarity. A neuropsychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to understand the complete picture of your mental health. By carefully examining the interplay between brain function, psychological well-being, and medical history, we can provide accurate diagnoses and create individualized treatment plans tailored to your needs. 

What Is a Neuropsychiatric Evaluation? 

A neuropsychiatric evaluation goes beyond a standard mental health assessment. It explores how neurological and psychiatric factors influence cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. This process helps identify conditions such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, dementia, traumatic brain injury, or co-occurring disorders with greater precision. 

These evaluations may include:
● A detailed clinical interview and history
● Cognitive and memory testing
● Behavioral and emotional assessments
● Review of medical and neurological conditions
● Collaboration with other specialists when needed.

Why It Matters: 

Many patients come to us after years of symptoms without clear answers or after receiving conflicting diagnoses. A thorough evaluation provides insight, removes uncertainty, and establishes a foundation for effective, evidence-based treatment.

Who Can Benefit? 

A neuropsychiatric evaluation may be recommended if you or a loved one is experiencing:
● Memory loss or cognitive decline
● Persistent mood or anxiety symptoms
● Changes in behavior or personality
● Attention and focus difficulties
● Challenges with daily functioning
● Symptoms that overlap between psychiatric and medical conditions 

Through these evaluations, we help patients and families understand what is happening—and, most importantly, what can be done to move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.
