NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS
Millions of people around the world are severely burdened and disabled by neurological illnesses. Psychologists can assess cognitive impairments, help patients with cognitive impairments get better, and treat comorbid psychological illnesses in patients with neurological disorders. Neuropsychological assessment, which entails the systematic examination of the level and type of cognitive functioning impairment caused by neurological illness or injury, may be the most frequent site of interaction between psychologists and people with neurological disorders. The discovery of gene therapy is a promising new approach for treating the neurological disorders.
