[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 151673, member: 1550"] It's a good idea to go to both. But don't expect them to find the same sort of things. Neurologists look for medical conditions that they can mainly document (there are some that are guesswork). Psychiatrists look for chemical imbalances in the brain. I prefer NeuroPsychs (sort of a combination of both) to either of them. They do a lot of serious evaluations that can take up to ten hours. However, they can't run tests like EEGs. They CAN spot LDs, autistic spectrum disorder, and psychiatric problems. Psychiatrists often miss neurological problems and neurologists actually aren't all that good at catching autistic spectrum disorder (especially the high functioning type). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
