I think seeing one would be great. Dad didn't have many cognitive issues once the manic phase passed but he continually sees a psychologist who used to work at a facility that specialized in rehabilitation from tumor / brain damage and a psychiatrist who we feel our invaluable. They were going to send dad for testing but once he started depakote his judgement improved and he was no longer irrational or a threat to others so they said it wasn't necessary. I feel the more help and people involved in your care the better.
