Lawyer1732,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

You know why they bury lawyers 10 feet down don't you ? Because, down deep, they are good people.

We'll try to overlook your occupation. LOL

What you are experiencing is common to concussions. The "recovery in 3-12 months" is a wide generality. There really is no way to prognose a recovery timeline.

Your psychological issues are all common to PCS. I don't know what the psych could be referring to when he suggests something else. The stress of your mother's health is mild compared to the stress of living with a struggling mind.

A NeuroPsychological Assessment might be worthwhile. Are there any concussion clinics where you live ? A PCP or neuro are usually not the best at concussions.

What kind of treatments have you had so far ? Meds ?
How are you sleeping ?
Is you current job stressful ?

Please feel free to tell us anything and everything. We have heard it all.

My best to you.
