To Test or Not To Test

Psychological testing sounds daunting. We hear about when it comes to criminals, it’s used when the courts need to measure one’s sanity and it’s also engaged to gauge a person’s competency for a very important role. Children are also tested if a parent feels there is a need for a diagnosis to determine an undying mental health condition like depression, for instance. In this episode, Dr. B. breaks down the importance of psychological testing, what the testing consists of, and the benefits that could help children in the long run.
