Even though a major portion of my practice includes neuropsychological evaluations, my attitude is that a good psychologist should be able to do anything a test can do. When there are issues, however, of cognitive impairment or difficulty processing, or when symptoms are diffuse, vague or overlap, a formal evaluation is often necessary and helpful.
There is nothing new under the sun. Whatever you're feeling or whatever difficulty you are experiencing, you are not the only one, not the first nor the last. Don't be shy about asking for help.
