Wendy Williams passes mental capacity test after being transported by ambulance to NYC hospital: report
NY Post
A psychiatrist at the New York hospital where Wendy Williams was taken Monday has reportedly determined that her mental capacity is intact.
Williams, 60, arrived by ambulance at Lennox Hill Hospital on Monday morning after cops were called to her assisted living facility for a wellness check when the former daytime talk show host tossed a handwritten note out of a window pleading for help.
Once at Lennox Hill, the former shock jock was given a psychological examination called a “capacity test” and scored a “10 out of 10,” answering each of 10 questions used to determine whether she was alert and oriented correctly, according to TMZ.
The exam Williams took may have been the Abbreviated Mental Test Score, based on TMZ’s description. The test, used to assess the possibility of dementia in elderly patients, includes 10 questions, such as the subject’s date of birth, address, and who the current president is, according to Medical News Today. Each correct answer earns 1 point. A score of 6 and below indicates a patient may be suffering from dementia or delirium.
Williams is currently under court-ordered guardianship after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. She has disputed the diagnosis and is fighting to end the guardianship.
Doctors allegedly did not conduct any tests that could indicate whether she was misdiagnosed.
