Abstract

This article focuses on the impact of grief on neuropsychological assessment among culturally diverse middle-old older adults (ages 75–84), a group vulnerable to mood disturbances and cognitive changes exacerbated by losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Four case studies involving bilingual and monolingual patients with neurological conditions illustrate how grief and culturally influenced expressions of bereavement can affect mood, engagement, and test performance. The findings highlight the importance of culturally sensitive clinical interviewing and assessment tools to accurately capture depressive and anxious symptoms that may otherwise be underreported. The study concludes that grief and mood disturbances should be prioritized in the evaluation and treatment planning for this population.
