Question about a particular test...

By LisaRenee Sunday, April 12, 2009

When I was still in Iowa, I was seeing a p-doc at the University, and she ordered a nueropsych exam to get some answers. I moved away after six months and no answers. I've alternately been told by previous doctors that I was either bipolar or had borderline personality disorder. I'm currently in Texas, no meds, and I just don't know what the heck to do. I have an intake appt scheduled 4/20. Everything is so messed up... been going through this for half my life... I just want answers. Is that so wrong?

If you want or need the result of the neuropsych test - you could always call or write the pdoc and ask for a copy of it.  By law, you have the right to have a copy.  Now, pdoc could deny you the copy but he/she would have to give a reason why.  More times than not though, they'll send you a copy or if you can get them on the phone - maybe he/she will tell you and discuss it with you.

Either call the doc yourself for the test (every state seems to be different on the requests) or have your new doc request it.  I am sure you will have to sign some form and probably provide personal info for the test results.  Also, if you are feeling really bad don't hold back at your appt.  Be totally upfront with what is going on, break down if you have to or if that is how you feel.  If you have a sig other, they can be helpful in attesting to  your symptoms and condition.
