Overall Evaluation Interpretation

Without question, (ref:first-name) is an endearing person who presents with a multitude of cognitive and interpersonal strengths, noted in detail above. Strengths notwithstanding, two broad clinical and diagnostic conclusions can be drawn from the current evaluation.

(ref:first-name) (ref:last-name) is a (ref:age)-year-old (ref:sex) with a history of (ref:dx1) and (ref:dx2). (ref:he-she-cap) was referred for testing by (ref:his-her) psychiatrist, (ref:refdoc), to assess (ref:his-her) current cognitive and emotional functioning. (ref:his-her-cap) premorbid and current general ability/intellectual skills are in the average range for (ref:his-her) age and level of schooling. Verbal/language processing is intact. Fluid/spatial reasoning is broadly intact for (ref:his-her) age; scores that are somewhat low in this area are secondary to nonverbal working memory difficulties rather than difficulties with reasoning and problem-solving. Attentional and executive functioning, including judgment/decision-making, auditory attention, and processing speed are average. Of note, attentional/executive functioning deficits may not show up on tests or in a structured testing office and yet be evident in real-world settings. This seems to be the case for (ref:first-name), as (ref:his-her) self-report ratings indicated moderate attention and executive problems in the areas of inattention/working memory difficulties, impulsivity/emotional lability, and on a global indicator of symptoms suggestive of a disorder of executive/attentional functioning. Learning and long-term memory functioning are intact on exam, with no evidence of memory impairment nor memory disorder.
