The Results Are In On My Brain Testing

This is the gist of what the neuro-psych told me today. I'd grab some phrases from his report, but he hasn't given me the written report yet. IQ: Very high. Like really high. Depression: Major Depressive Disorder right now in severe clinical depression Brain Function: Mild Cognitive Impairment He wants me to maybe change psychiatrists and see a neurologist and continue taking the Dementia medication that I take but possibly change to new anti-depressants. I scored extremely high on vocabulary and organizing words. I scored extremely low on visual-spatial tests like re-drawing a complex drawing I scored low-for-me in the other areas compared to last time I tested. So now I have a sense of relief just to know what exactly is going on and I need to work on my Depression and mental health issues. Have you ever had neuro-psych testing? They put you through the wringer with about 35 mental tests that take into account age, intelligence, education, and everything else adjusted in the results.

First of all, stone cold sober, half of us probably wouldn’t be able to redraw those complex drawings. I’m familiar with the test you took because of my mom so I remember how thorough it was.

I haven’t had them. At my age, what’s the purpose of knowing if I meet the “clinical definition” of ADHD since I’ve made it this far in life without the tag?

Looks like I need to spend some time with you for comic relief to cheer me up

Even with no impairment, I can't draw worth a crap so couldn't recreate their drawings for the life of me. I have had some of the psych testing when I got lost in the desert years ago. They didn't test for a lot of that, though.

Nope. I haven't tried that kind of testing.
