I have high regard for the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation..... But

I suggest that most people suffering from PCS NOT try to read this new set of guidelines.

First, it is too complex for most to understand
.
Second, it will likely lead to inappropriate self-diagnosis that can damage or interrupt any attempt to establish a relationship with a doctor who may be offended or turned off by self-diagnosis and such suggestions.

It is designed for medical professionals and tends to be written from a statistical perspective. Statistical (providing all of the statistically significant findings) based medical care tends to be very confusing and sometimes misdirected medical care. For example, over 85% of concussions resolve spontaneously. This statistic causes many doctors to discount the persistent symptoms of their patients.

Instead, for those in Canada, ask if the doctor who is treating you or you have been referred to is aware of and follows the ONF guidelines.
