[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 229851, member: 2423"] What is the name of the association where you checked the neuropsychologists in your area? I'd like to check my area to see who is listed and whether they're the ones we went to. A neurologist is a medical doctor specializing in disorders of the central nervous system. A neuropsychologist is a psychologist who has extra training in how the brain functions. In general (may vary by state), only a psychiatrist can diagnosis bipolar disorder. It typically takes about 5 years to really nail down the diagnosis (we've been working with J's psychiatrist for 3 years, and he's pretty certain J has BiPolar (BP), but he wants to wait until J finishes puberty to make a definitive diagnosis). A PhD psychologist can do neuropsychological testing, as long as he/she is trained to do it. [/QUOTE]
