Neuropsychology

The link between behavior and brain.

From the Neuropsychology Department we offer psychological counseling to a wide variety of patients, from adults with neuropsychiatric problems, degenerative disorders or acquired brain damage to children with neurodevelopmental disorders or learning difficulties.

What is a neuropsychological assessment for?

The neuropsychological assessment allows to define the cognitive and psychological state of the patient, in order to discriminate, in a precise way, the possible existence of lesions or affections in the brain that have an impact on the patient's daily life.

 

A neuropsychological diagnosis can help identify the presence of early and mild cognitive alterations when they do not yet imply a compromise of the patient's daily activity.

 

This early detection is especially important in pathologies such as dementias, as well as in metabolic and toxic processes, in which having tools that facilitate differential diagnosis is a priority.

When should a neuropsychological assessment be performed?

A neuropsychological evaluation is generally recommended when there are suspicions, symptoms, or complaints related to memory, attention or reasoning.

 

Diseases of a neurological nature, such as dementia or stroke, often involve changes in the ability to concentrate, memory, reasoning and even behavior and emotions.

 

Neurocognitive assessments are also performed in psychological and psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or addiction disorder, among others, since they often involve a compromise of a person's cognitive functioning.
