Neuropsychiatry

A neuropsychiatry assessment expert evaluation provides a specialized analysis of the interface between brain injury and psychiatric symptoms. These reports are essential for claimants who have sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), as they differentiate between organic personality changes caused by neural damage and reactive psychological disorders like PTSD or depression.

Overview

When this report is required

  • To evaluate cognitive and behavioural changes following a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • To determine if psychiatric symptoms are “organic” results of frontal lobe or temporal damage
  • To assess post-concussion syndrome in cases where physical imaging appears normal
  • To differentiate between primary brain injury sequelae and secondary psychological trauma

What the expert assesses

  • Organic Personality Change
  • Cognitive Deficit Profile
  • Executive Dysfunction
  • Neuro-behavioural Regulation
  • Causal Link to Neural Trauma
