Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being here on Healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

I have read your previous discussions with fellow neurologists and psychiatrists and answering this query based on that.

A hard fact and a golden point-'Online tests can never match actual physical examination of the patient'.
So, please visit a neurologist to rule out any neurological involvement. Frankly speaking,I don't believe in terminologies like 'neuropsychologists'. What is true-A neurologist is a neurologist;a psychiatrist is a psychiatrist;a psychologist is a psychologist.There is some overlapping in the fields though.

So,You need two experts to solve your problems-a neurologist and a psychiatrist.

Hope,I answered your query.If you have still further questions,I shall be glad to answer,else please close the thread-rate it and write a review.
