The brain is a complex organ, and any physical trauma to the brain or neurological disorders can have an impact on your cognition and behaviour. On this episode of Humans of Healthcare, we speak to clinical neuropsychologist Dr A Padmassini to find out more about how the specialisation of neuropsychology is vital as we see a rise in neurological disorders and mental health issues, and what it takes to be a neuropsychologist.
