[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 229847, member: 3184"] There is a difference. I cannot find neuropsychologist in the phone book, but when I called a large teaching hospital, they have them there. That is the only place I have been able to find them around here. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropsychologist[/URL] link to neuropsychologist [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychologist[/URL] link to psychologist. The way I understand it, a neuropsychologist specializes in neurological type disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), asperger's, so on. A psychiatrist specializes in things such as ADHD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia. In my state, a psychologist cannot prescribe medications, does therapy, and I do not know if they can diagnose. I think the previous things can vary by state. [/QUOTE]
