" From a clinical perspective a baseline test is probably not that important. Your best baseline is your social network. The people who know you best are the most important people to distinguish: Are you a different person then you were a year ago? What abilities may have been lost? Elaborate neuro-psychological testing is not as effective as just asking someone who knows you best. "
