NEUROPSYCHOLOGY

What is Neuropsychology?

Neuropsychology is a specialized area of psychology dedicated to exploring how brain activity affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It focuses on how brain injuries, neurological disorders, or developmental conditions impact cognitive functions such as memory, attention, language, and problem-solving. Neuropsychological assessment helps diagnose conditions, guide treatment plans, and support recovery.

At Psychowellness Center, a leading mental health facility in West Delhi, expert neuropsychologists offer comprehensive evaluations and evidence-based interventions. These services assist individuals in recognizing their cognitive abilities and difficulties, aiming to enhance overall brain health and performance.
