Neuropsychology

Clinical neuropsychology is a specialized area of psychology which looks at the relationship between cognition and behavior relating to brain/cerebral function. It covers the entire spectrum of life ranging from developmental concerns in infancy to academic and social functions in adolescents and young adults. It is also useful in assessing cognitive function in the older age range and assessing cognitive function and mental fitness to perform tasks after brain injury.

Neuropsychological assessments may sometimes require 1-2 days and includes numerous exercises that assess cognitive function. In most instances Neuropsychologists form part of the multi-Disciplinary team approach along with Neurologists and Psychiatrists most complex cases.

In some patients with cognitive impairment with significant depression we can utilize the assistance of the Neuropsychologists to assess performance metrics to determine the contribution of behavioral changes in cognition and thus appropriate the correct treatment. We sometimes use it periodically to demonstrate improvements in patients after traumatic brain injury.

Psychiatry

Mental health is a state of wellbeing that encompasses our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and includes the ways we engage with others and with ourselves. It concerns how we feel, think, and act in everyday life. With good mental health, one can enjoy life and maximize one’s full potential. With poor mental health, life could be experienced as unpleasant and unsatisfactory.

The Trinidad Neurospine Institute Limited offers a wide range of services in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of adult mental health conditions in a warm and friendly environment. We evaluate and treat mental health conditions such as Major Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Panic Disorder, Dementia, Substance-induced Disorders, and Schizophrenia to mention a few. We also evaluate Personality Disorders and do Decision-making-capacity assessments for people who might not be able to make certain life decisions like managing finances. We help people deal with everyday stressors by introducing them to mindfulness techniques and other important stress-reducing tools. And our goal is not just to return people to their previous mental functioning, but to assist them in maximizing their full potential.
