This evaluation can assist in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders that affect thinking. Dr. Charles Berthold conducts a comprehensive memory/neuropsychological evaluation that includes paper/pencil and verbal tests. These assess different components of thinking including memory, attention, language, executive functioning (higher order thinking, for example, the ability to reason, organize, plan or problem solve) and others.
The test scores are compared to an average score matched for the individual’s age, level of education and at what level the patient should be functioning. A detailed report will be provided to you and your family member’s doctor.
A family feedback session gives you a chance to review the results of the evaluation and talk with Dr. Berthold. He answers your questions, provides recommendations and contact information for appropriate resources for you and your loves one.
Charles Berthold, Ph.D. is a practicing clinical psychologist in St. Charles, IL and Oak Brook, IL. He has had years of intense study and rigorous clinical training to enable him to carefully assess your situation and choose an approach that will provide the most effective solution for you.
