Psychological Evaluation

I had a formal psychological evaluation this week to determine my eligibility for help with medical expenses (Etc) from my state. Details on the questions and the outcome are discussed in this video. Please feel free to contact me with any more questions.

thanks for that.

She is evaluating the comprehension skills you have.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Maybe the whole 'Remember this, then we'll ask you 10 minuets later' thing was to see how you cope under pressure, whether you loose your string and panic, or whether you can keep your cool.

No idea. Just a thought. Your videos are amazing. :) x

Thank you, I think you're right about that. I was hard on myself but I didn't break down... I hope they don't disqualify me on that fact alone, however.

thanks for the compliment, I am glad you are watching xo :D

This has probably already been answered, but the reason they ask you questions like that is because they're testing your cognitive ability. Things like memory (short and long-term), comprehension, language as well as co-ordination and motor function, among other things. It's standard IQ testing and psychological evaluation. Then they would test your mood, thought patterns etc. A lot of it is boring, annoying and seems pointless, but it's necessary to cover all types of people and conditions. :)

I don't know a way around it. I'm so stuck between not being comfortable and wanting to leave. But i know i can't tell these HEAVY things to just anyone. It's sooooo hard to just HOLD in. It wears you down. You want SOOO badly to let someone know that you FEEL this way, but feel a burden. I don't know if this is anything like what you're going through. But i get anxious before and feel so sad sick empty and HOLLOW.

Did you ever think the anxiety could be from the impending psych eval? I know when i have an appointment, i get really anxious. Until i see my therapist. I think it's just from anticipation. There is so much that you want to get off your chest and you never know where to begin. Like you hold it all in until that moment.

that test you discribe (with the date, year, 100-7-.., draw symbol,...) sounds exactly like the 'mini mental status test' i do with very old ppl. it's to check if they got dementia and in which development they are...weird they did the test on you...

[tuvoca]

Yeah. Depression can affect memory and cognition, etc. Even the ability to do simple addition and subtraction.

Not eating sometimes gives me those chest pains. It's like a really cheap form of self-harm! Yippie! *sarcasm sarcasm raucous applause sarcasm*

The stories were for your memory. I'd fail into a pit of fiery demise and failure and such... fail.

And you're badass. Tell those fuckers off.

You're in this world too. Sorry, lady. I don't really know what I have, psychotic disorder of some sort. One thinks it's sz, another PTSD. I go in and out of whatever it is randomly. I kind'of like it sometimes. I only reclused once with severe symptoms. Otherwise, it's random, but not today. Ppl h8 us. Get used to it. You might be an LD. Eek. That's an instant lifetime down the drain. You'll learn to say "fuck you" a lot. It's "affect" your ability.
