To Test or Not To Test

To Test or Not To Test

Psychological testing sounds daunting. We hear about it when it comes to criminals. It’s implemented when the courts need to measure one’s sanity and it’s also used 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 underlying mental health condition like depression, for instance. In this episode, Dr. B. breaks down the importance of psychological testing for children, what the testing consists of, and all the benefits that could help these young minds thrive in the future.
