[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 62962, member: 2423"] Neuropsychologists are very good for dxing ADHD, learning disabilities and Autistic Spectrum Disorders. They can also do psychological testing to get a "read" on anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. But they are actually not qualified to make a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, for example. Only a child psychiatrist is techniqually qualified to make this diagnosis. Furthermore, if a neuropsychologist suspects mood issues, he will absolutely refer to a child psychiatrist for treatment.
