Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Neuropsychological Testing
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition that affects the central nervous system, often leading to cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes. At our practice, we provide specialized neuropsychological assessments to help patients with MS understand how the condition impacts their thinking, memory, and daily functioning.
How MS Affects Cognitive Functioning:
- Difficulty with memory and learning new information
- Slower processing speed and mental fatigue
- Challenges with attention and concentration
- Trouble with planning, organization, and multitasking (executive functioning)
- Emotional changes, including depression or mood swings
Neuropsychological Assessments for MS:
We offer comprehensive assessments to evaluate cognitive strengths and weaknesses in patients with MS. Our tests are designed to provide a clear picture of how MS affects your daily life and help guide treatment recommendations.
What Our MS Testing May Include:
- Memory and Learning: Tests to measure recall of information and ability to learn new material
- Attention and Concentration: Evaluations to assess focus and the ability to sustain mental effort
- Processing Speed: Timed tests to measure how quickly you can process information
- Executive Functioning: Tests that assess planning, reasoning, and problem-solving skills
- Emotional and Psychological Screening: Assessments to understand the emotional effects of MS, including mood and coping abilities
