Re: This "off his medication" phrase really bugs me.
Neuropsychs are usually doctors with dual degrees in medicine (MD) and psychology (PhD). So, they check chemical, neurological and psychological issues to try to get a better understanding of the mental disease of some. They're especially helpful with children's diagnoses, which are extremele to diagnose because they symptoms change as the child ages (one of the reasons why it was used to be believed that children did not have bipolar -- the classic symptoms didn't show up until the child was older).
